# Swampert #27/100 — Crystal Guardians

## Summary

Swampert is the Hoenn starter that fans rank among the best final evolutions, and Echo Draw was the draw engine that made its Stage 2 line worth a bench slot in the Crystal Guardians format. A plain Rare in its set, it sits in the mid-tier, with demand driven by the Pokémon rather than rarity. The modelled guide sits at $5.58, up 3% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, with 152 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
