# Kakuna #6/108 — Evolutions

## Summary

Kakuna from Evolutions is a mid-tier Uncommon in a set built around Base Set nostalgia, where the Weedle line gets a gentle nod from collectors who started with Red and Blue. Kinebuchi is a long-serving Pokémon TCG illustrator, so completionists have extra reason to care. A $0.17 modelled guide, up 89% over 30 days on 19 copies traded, says bulk, with 420 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
