# Cacturne ex #91/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Cacturne ex is a Hoenn Grass/Dark scarecrow with a modest but loyal following, and Emerald's ex slots always drew attention in an era when ex cards were the format's heavy hitters. Hikaru Koike is a long-running Pokémon illustrator, so completists tend to notice the name. The modelled guide sits at $15; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
