# Krookodile #62/98 — Emerging Powers

## Summary

Krookodile was a menacing Gen V favorite, and Black Eyes gave it a real disruption hook in an era when Energy denial could swing a game. As a plain Rare in a small early Black & White set, it sat mid-tier, so demand comes from fans of Naoki Saito's work and Unova nostalgia. A $0.68 modelled guide, down 3% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, says bulk, with 134 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $125, 184 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
