# Torchic #26/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Torchic is a bulk common, the sort of Basic that fills a Celestial Storm binder page without anyone chasing it. Hoenn's Fire starter keeps a devoted fanbase, though, and MAHOU's illustration gives completionists and Treecko-Mudkip trio collectors a modest reason to pick it up. A $0.35 modelled guide with 4 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the tape reads as a steady markup with inventory under control, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.14 out of Journey Together.
