# Chikorita #53/95 — Call of Legends

## Summary

Chikorita is a bulk common from a reprint-heavy set, the sort of pull that never carried a chase slot or tournament weight. Its appeal is the starter's lasting Johto fan following and Ken Sugimori's name on the illustrator line, the original Pokémon designer, which gives completionists a small reason to bother. At a $1.77 modelled guide, with 8 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.17 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
