# Ralts #61/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Ralts is a bulk common from Emerald, but the Pokémon itself carries real weight: it's the gateway to both Gardevoir and Gallade, and Hoenn's most beloved Psychic line keeps its early stage in demand with completionists. Kagemaru Himeno is among the original-era Pokémon TCG illustrators, so the name alone adds quiet appeal. The modelled guide sits at $1.69, flat over 30 days on 9 copies traded, with 110 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $22, 13 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
