# Scyther #4/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Scyther is a Gen I favorite, and its Twin Play attack pulled two copies onto the Bench in one move, a neat engine for decks that wanted Scyther lines. An Uncommon was a mid-tier pull, so demand rests on fan loyalty and Hajime Kusajima's name. A $0.40 modelled guide, down 7% over 30 days on 17 copies traded, says bulk, with 353 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: 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 $0.15 out of Temporal Forces.
