# Heracross δ #3/101 — Dragon Frontiers

## Summary

Heracross δ is a Delta Species Rare from Dragon Frontiers, with the Fire typing that marks the delta mechanic and a Poke-BODY built around playing alone. Mitsuhiro Arita is among the most celebrated Pokémon illustrators, and Johto's best-loved bug keeps a steady fanbase. The modelled guide sits at $45 with 8 copies traded in 30 days; a CGC 10 brings $252, 5.6 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
