# Cacnea #5/111 — Crimson Invasion

## Summary

Cacnea is a bulk common from a Sun & Moon-era set, filler for binders rather than a pull anyone chased. Its Darkness-tied attack hints at a tiny Grass-Dark gimmick, but the real pull is Hoenn nostalgia and the cactus charm that Gen III collectors still enjoy. A $0.18 modelled guide, down 14% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, says bulk, with 270 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
