# Blaziken #1/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Blaziken is the Hoenn starter fans never stopped loving, a Fire/Fighting finisher that anchored a whole generation's first team. As an Emerald Rare in the Poké-Body era, it was a respectable Stage 2 attacker rather than a chase slot, with Midori Harada's name adding quiet appeal. At a $4.16 modelled guide, with 3 copies traded in 30 days, with 105 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.26 out of Destined Rivals; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
