# Krookodile #059/086 — Black Bolt

## Summary

Krookodile is a Unova Stage 2 with a solid following among Darkness fans, and this Black Bolt version leans on hand disruption, a fitting nod to its home region's nostalgia. Gapao is a respected illustrator, but as an Uncommon, it's a mid-tier pull, so demand stays modest. A $0.17 modelled guide with 2 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 183 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 $0.07 out of Phantasmal Flames.
