# Dodrio #37/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Dodrio is a three-headed Gen I Normal type with a modest but steady following, and Mitsuhiro Arita is a name collectors trust from the Base Set days. As a Base Set 2 uncommon it was a mid-tier pull, useful for Retreat Aid but never a tournament star. The modelled guide sits at $4.02, up 2% over 30 days on 18 copies traded, with 590 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $80, 20 times raw, but a 19% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
