# Shieldon #109/189 — Astral Radiance

## Summary

Shieldon is a Sinnoh fossil Pokémon that Diamond & Pearl players still remember fondly, and a Metal Stage 1 that hits for a solid amount at modest cost. Yuka Morii's soft, watercolor-leaning illustration style suits it, but as a mid-tier Uncommon pull, collector interest stays modest. The modelled guide sits at $0.27, up 4% over 30 days on 184 copies traded, with 569 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $32, 117 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
