# Delcatty #142/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Delcatty carries Hoenn nostalgia on Skitty's coattails, and its gust-and-confuse attack never found a competitive home. As a plain Rare in Darkness Ablaze it was a mid-tier pull, so demand comes from Tika Matsuno completists and Colorless collectors, not chase hunters. The modelled guide sits at $0.43, up 16% over 30 days on 61 copies traded, with 227 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $25, 58 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
