# Plusle #39/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Plusle is a bulk common from the Black & White years, but its Minun-linked draw attack gave it a small deck-building job when pairs were fun to play. Naoki Saito is a long-serving Pokémon illustrator, and Hoenn cheerleader duos keep a loyal following among completionists. The modelled guide sits at $11, down 7% over 30 days on 22 copies traded, with 52 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.
