# Salamence #10/97 — Dragon

## Summary

Salamence is a Hoenn pseudo-legendary and one of the best-loved dragons of its generation, so a holo from the set built around that theme draws steady fan demand. Its Poke-POWER, which dragged a Benched target forward, gave it real deck appeal, and Arita's name adds collector weight. The modelled guide sits at $327 with 6 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
