# Torchic #022/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Torchic is a bulk common, but the Hoenn starter has a loyal following, and Sword & Shield Fire decks gave its bench-fetching attack some quiet usefulness. Yuka Morii's name on a common draws a small crowd of illustrator completionists, which is most of the demand it will see. At a $0.33 modelled guide, up 14% over 30 days on 118 copies traded, with 118 days of inventory on the board, 52% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Journey Together; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
