# Team Rocket's Ekans #112/182 — Destined Rivals

## Summary

Team Rocket's Ekans is a bulk common, a Basic filler pull in a set whose real excitement sits with the Rocket-branded trainers and Pokémon at higher rarities. Keiichiro Ito's name adds a little for illustration-minded collectors, but Gen I nostalgia and Rocket completionists are the only real audience. A $0.19 modelled guide, up 19% over 30 days on 25 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,015 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
