# Dustox #25/130 — Diamond & Pearl

## Summary

Dustox is a Hoenn Stage 2 whose fanbase is small but loyal, mostly Bug and Grass completionists and Gen III nostalgists. In the opening Diamond & Pearl set, a Rare Stage 2 like this sat mid-tier, a binder pull rather than a chase, and Kouki Saitou's name adds modest appeal. At a $1.62 modelled guide, up 1% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, with 121 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
