# Nincada #66/97 — Dragon

## Summary

Nincada is a Hoenn bug with a charming double life, since evolving it gives you both Ninjask and the famously odd Shedinja, and fans have loved that quirk since Ruby and Sapphire. As a plain Common from a dragon-themed set it was filler, so demand rests on Toshinao Aoki's name and completionist nostalgia. A $0.45 modelled guide, down 10% over 30 days on 14 copies traded, says bulk, with 300 days of inventory on the board, 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 $0.10 out of Mega Evolution.
