# Grotle #49/130 — Diamond & Pearl

## Summary

Grotle is the middle step of the Sinnoh Grass starter line, and Turtwig's loyal following keeps attention on its evolutions. Ken Sugimori, the original designer behind the franchise's creatures, is a notable name to find here, though as an uncommon in its set this was a routine pull. At a $1.08 modelled guide, with 10 copies traded in 30 days, 85% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Temporal Forces; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
