# Dustox #220/217 — Ascended Heroes

## Summary

Dustox is a Hoenn moth with a modest but real following, mostly among Grass-type collectors who like the line's unglamorous underdog charm. Illustration rare is the set's mid-tier chase for artwork lovers, and Saki Ikeda is a long-running Pokémon card illustrator, so this one pulls in art collectors beyond just the Grass-deck crowd. At a $2.55 sold median, down 22% over 30 days on 778 copies traded, with only 4 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA has slabbed 628 of these and 447 are 10s, a 71% gem rate, but no graded market has formed to price the slab.
