# Swellow #49/107 — Deoxys

## Summary

Swellow is a Hoenn-era Stage 1 with a modest but loyal following, mostly from players who raised a Taillow on their first Ruby or Sapphire run. As an uncommon in the Deoxys set it was a mid-tier pull, useful filler with little tournament weight, and Midori Harada's name adds a small illustrator draw. A $0.66 modelled guide with 1 copy traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.06 out of Destined Rivals.
