# Gardevoir #4/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Gardevoir has been a Hoenn fan favorite since Ruby and Sapphire, adored for its elegant design and protective-trainer lore. Heal Dance made the Stage 2 a staple support piece in the EX-era Psychic decks that leaned on it, while Kagemaru Himeno is among the era's best-known illustrators, and that pedigree keeps interest steady. The modelled guide sits at $20; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the slabbed population has not grown in 30 days, slower than 88% of tracked cards.
