# Numel #027/217 — Ascended Heroes

## Summary

Numel is a Hoenn common with a mild following, the sort of Fire-type pull that fills a binder page without anyone chasing it. Its burn-on-contact Ability makes it a tidy little deck tech piece, but demand stays modest and mostly belongs to Gen III completionists. A $0.13 modelled guide with 2 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $30, 234 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.11 out of Mega Evolution.
