# Torchic #14/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Torchic carries the weight of being a Hoenn starter, and that fan loyalty outlasts any single set, even on a common that was pulled as filler. Masakazu Fukuda is a long-serving illustrator in the Pokémon card line, so completionists who track artists have a reason to look twice. A $0.19 modelled guide, down 53% over 30 days on 7 copies traded, says bulk, with 420 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $36, 187 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
