# Tirtouga #022/086 — Black Bolt

## Summary

Tirtouga is a Unova fossil Pokémon with a quiet following among Gen V fans who like the revived-prehistoric theme. As an Uncommon in Black Bolt it was a mid-tier pull, and the Item-punishing Ancient Seaweed attack gives it a niche tournament angle, while Gemi's name adds some collector interest. A $0.16 modelled guide, down 6% over 30 days on 34 copies traded, says bulk, with 446 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 199 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
