# Salamence #106/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Salamence has long been a Hoenn favorite, the pseudo-legendary dragon that rewards anyone who raised a Bagon from scratch. Its Dragon Wind ability gave it a genuine gust-style role in Sun & Moon decks, and Arita's name lifts a mid-tier Rare above ordinary bulk. The modelled guide sits at $0.70, up 1% over 30 days on 38 copies traded, with 145 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
