# Combusken #5/70 — Dragon Majesty

## Summary

Combusken is the middle step of the Hoenn starter line, borrowing warmth from Blaziken's devoted following. Ken Sugimori, the artist behind the original Pokémon designs, adds a collector hook, though as an uncommon in a small, dragon-themed set it stays a modest, easy pull. A $0.28 modelled guide, down 3% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, says bulk, with 173 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $33, 119 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
