# Dratini #26/97 — Dragon

## Summary

Dratini is a Gen I favorite whose pseudo-legendary Dragonite line keeps fans loyal, and in a set built around dragons it was an easy, ordinary pull. Aya Kusube's name adds a modest illustrator draw, but demand here is nostalgia for a small first-stage Basic, not tournament weight. The modelled guide sits at $13, up 12% over 30 days on 20 copies traded, with 83 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $100, 7.5 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
