# Venipede #38/98 — Emerging Powers

## Summary

Venipede is a Gen V bulk common from a small Black & White-era set, the sort of pull that fills a binder slot without anyone chasing it. Kouki Saitou is a long-serving Pokémon TCG illustrator, and Unova completionists are the quiet reason a copy still finds a home. A $0.19 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.13 out of Black Bolt.
