# Tropius #21/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Tropius is a gentle Hoenn oddity with a small but devoted following, and Kagemaru Himeno is among the longest-serving names in the franchise's art credits, so completionists notice. As a mid-tier Uncommon in a deep set, its pull never mattered, and its draw-two-Pokémon search made it a casual deck's helper. A $0.34 modelled guide, up 13% over 30 days on 7 copies traded, says bulk, with 280 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 94 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
