# Masquerain #16/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Masquerain is a Hoenn Bug-Grass favorite whose eye-wing look wins it a quiet following, though it never carried a major deck. Its attack that strips Special Energy was a niche tech option in its era, and as a mid-tier uncommon its appeal is mostly nostalgic. A $0.33 modelled guide, up 3% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, says bulk, with 390 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 97 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
