# Electrike #52/100 — Crystal Guardians

## Summary

Electrike is a bulk common from the EX era, a Basic that filled out a Lightning slot without anyone chasing it, though Sniff Out's discard recovery gave it a little more utility than its rarity suggests. Atsuko Nishida illustrated it, and her name alone gives completionists a reason to keep a copy. A $0.36 modelled guide with 1 copy traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a CGC 10 brings $13, 36 times raw, but 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 $0.12 out of Destined Rivals.
