# Electabuzz #42/147 — Burning Shadows

## Summary

Electabuzz is a Kantō original with a steady following among Lightning fans, and the Basic Uncommon slot in Burning Shadows made it a filler pull more than a chase. Its paralysis coin flip gave it casual appeal, but demand now rests on nostalgia and set completion. A $0.18 modelled guide, down 5% over 30 days on 14 copies traded, says bulk, with 340 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.07 out of Temporal Forces.
