# Ribombee #96/147 — Burning Shadows

## Summary

Ribombee is a well-liked Alola pollinator, and Megumi Mizutani is a long-serving illustrator with a gentle, approachable Pokémon portfolio. As an uncommon whose Honey Gather ability fetched energy, it offered modest deck utility, yet nobody chases it, so demand stays small and nostalgic. A $0.33 modelled guide with 4 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $33, 101 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 $0.13 out of Temporal Forces.
