# Palpitoad #34/122 — BREAKpoint

## Summary

Palpitoad is a Stage 1 Uncommon, the middle step of a Unova Water line that never reached competitive relevance, so it was filler in its set and filler in the format. Ayaka Yoshida is a long-serving Pokémon illustrator, and her name is the quiet draw for completists. A $0.20 modelled guide with 1 copy traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 157 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 $0.10 out of Black Bolt.
