# Ludicolo #10/107 — Deoxys

## Summary

Ludicolo is a Hoenn favorite whose sombrero-and-dance personality made it one of Gen III's most memorable Water starters-adjacent picks, and Atsuko Nishida, a longtime Pokémon artist, adds her name to the draw. Swing Dance's free card draw gave it real utility in its era. At a $26 modelled guide, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.14 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
