# Beartic #043/172 — Brilliant Stars

## Summary

Beartic is a modest Unova Ice-type uncommon with a quiet following among Gen V fans, and it sat well below the chase slots in a set built around its starry Trainer Gallery and Arceus pulls. Rianti Hidayat's name adds a small point of interest for illustrator collectors. A $0.04 modelled guide with 2 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
