# Carnivine #009/163 — Battle Styles

## Summary

Carnivine has a cult following among fans of Sinnoh's stranger Grass types, but a Basic built around a three-coin flip never threatened the tournament scene. As a Battle Styles uncommon it padded out the set rather than anchoring it, so interest comes mostly from completionists and Akira Egawa admirers. A $0.12 modelled guide, down 20% over 30 days on 28 copies traded, says bulk, with 3,090 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: 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 $0.05 out of Chaos Rising.
