# Turtonator #26/147 — Burning Shadows

## Summary

Turtonator is a Alola-region Fire/Dragon that never reached the fan-favorite tier, so demand here is modest and mostly completist. Flame Cloak's energy recursion gave it some playable flavor in the Sun & Moon era, but as a plain Rare in Burning Shadows it sat in the mid-tier, not the chase slot. A $0.27 modelled guide with 3 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.03 out of Stellar Crown.
