# Mudkip #56/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Mudkip is a Hoenn starter with one of the most devoted fanbases of its generation, and Atsuko Nishida, a longtime Pokémon card illustrator, has artwork on a great many early cards. In Emerald it is a plain common, so demand comes from sentiment and completionists rather than competitive play. The modelled guide sits at $8.59, down 11% over 30 days on 42 copies traded, with 177 days of inventory on the board; a ACE 10 brings $212, 25 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
