# Wailord #26/124 — Dragons Exalted

## Summary

Wailord has a devoted following as the largest Pokémon in the franchise, and Hoenn Water types keep an easy sentimental pull. A plain Rare in Dragons Exalted sat a tier below the dragon chase cards, so demand rests on fandom more than scarcity. At a $4.68 modelled guide, with 6 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.19 out of Journey Together; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
