# Swoobat #37/98 — Emerging Powers

## Summary

Swoobat is a Unova Psychic-Flying bat with a modest but real fan following, and Emerging Powers was the set built around Gen V's early wave of Pokémon. A plain Rare there sat a tier above bulk without being a chase pull, so demand comes from Unova completionists rather than speculators. A $0.77 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.15 out of White Flare.
