# Staraptor #16/130 — Diamond & Pearl

## Summary

Staraptor was the Sinnoh starter-route bird that most Gen IV trainers leaned on early, and its fan loyalty still holds. As a Rare Holo in the first Diamond & Pearl set, it was a genuine mid-tier pull, a solid holo for players and Sinnoh nostalgics rather than a chase slot. The modelled guide sits at $20, flat over 30 days on 9 copies traded, with 149 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
