# Wally's Training #85/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Wally's Training is a mid-tier Supporter from the Hoenn era that let a lone Basic skip straight to its evolution, a neat trick but never a format-defining one. Ken Sugimori, the artist behind the original Pokémon designs, gives it a quiet collector pull beyond the effect. A $0.85 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 4 copies traded, says bulk, with 364 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
