# Tympole #103/086 — Black Bolt

## Summary

Tympole is a Unova starter-adjacent favorite among Gen V fans, a small tadpole with a goofy charm that suits the Illustration rare treatment. Aspara is a respected name for these full-art slots, and a Round-based Basic like this sits in a tidy niche for Unova-themed decks. At a $9.29 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 128 copies traded, with 53 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.15 out of Black Bolt; a PSA 10 brings $340, 37 times raw, but a 16% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
