# Porygon-Z #105/147 — Burning Shadows

## Summary

Porygon-Z has a quiet cult following among fans of its glitchy digital oddity, and its Initialize Ability, which bounces opposing evolutions back to hand, was a disruptive idea for the Sun & Moon era. As a plain Rare in a large set, it sits as a mid-tier pull. A $0.49 modelled guide, down 4% over 30 days on 13 copies traded, says bulk, with 110 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.
