# Quilava #19/162 — BREAKthrough

## Summary

Quilava is the awkward middle stage of Johto's beloved fire starter line, a Pokémon fans respect mostly as the bridge to Typhlosion. As a BREAKthrough uncommon it was a filler pull with a gamble attack, so Shin Nagasawa's name and nostalgia for Cyndaquil carry whatever demand exists. A $0.38 modelled guide, up 23% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, says bulk, with 61 days of inventory 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.
