# Mantine δ #20/101 — Dragon Frontiers

## Summary

Mantine δ is a Dragon Frontiers rare whose Power Circulation fed energy back into the deck, the sort of utility Pokémon that quietly mattered in its format. Delta Species cards carry a cult following, and a Johto favorite from an Ex-era set keeps that nostalgia steady. The modelled guide sits at $2.87 with 7 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
