# Rattata #89/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Rattata is a bulk common from a set built to reintroduce the original game's staples, so nobody pulled it hoping for a win. Arita is the artist who defined the earliest Pokémon card look, which gives even this humble Gen I Normal type a small pull for completists and nostalgic binder builders. A $0.63 modelled guide with 4 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 brings $86, 136 times raw, but a 28% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade, and the same card plays for $0.06 out of Perfect Order.
