# Corphish #53/97 — Dragon

## Summary

Corphish is a Hoenn Water common from the EX Dragon set, and the Dragon theme left it as supporting cast, a filler pull beside the set's real chase cards. Kagemaru Himeno is a veteran of the original Pokémon card artwork, so completionists and early-era illustrator collectors keep it quietly in demand. A $0.71 modelled guide with 1 copy traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.07 out of Twilight Masquerade.
