# Rhydon #19/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Rhydon is a Gen I Rock-Ground staple that fans respect as the first Pokémon ever designed, and it sits in an Emerald-era mid-tier slot, a regular Rare rather than a chase pull. Kouki Saitou's name adds a small draw for illustrator collectors, but demand stays modest and nostalgia-driven. At a $1.80 modelled guide, with 1 copy traded in 30 days, 88% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.21 out of Stellar Crown; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
