# Grovyle #9/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Grovyle is the middle child of the Hoenn Grass starters, and Treecko's line has a loyal following, with Sceptile carrying most of the hype. As an uncommon Stage 1 with a coin-flip attack, it was binder filler in its set, so interest comes from Hoenn nostalgia and Shin Nagasawa completists. The modelled guide sits at $0.61, down 3% over 30 days on 21 copies traded, with 390 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $36, 59 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
