# Salamence δ #14/113 — Delta Species

## Summary

Salamence has long been one of the most loved pseudo-legendary dragons, a Hoenn favorite whose pull never faded. Delta Species gave it a Fire and Metal typing, a quirky mid-tier Rare in the Stage 2 era, now mostly a nostalgic pick for Gen 3 and delta-species collectors rather than a chase slot. The modelled guide sits at $67, up 4% over 30 days on 32 copies traded, with 119 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.
