# Huntail #42/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Huntail is a Hoenn Water type with a modest but steady following among Gen III fans, who tend to prize the deep-sea oddities over the starters. As a mid-tier Uncommon in a large Sun & Moon set, it was a pull for playing rather than chasing, and demand stays quiet. A $0.29 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 111 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 $0.17 out of Destined Rivals.
