# Potion #9/12 — EX trainer Kit 2 (Plusle)

## Summary

Potion is the oldest kind of healing Trainer, a modest damage-removal effect that EX-era players rarely bothered running when faster options existed. It comes from a Trainer Kit product built to teach newcomers the game, so it was never a chase pull, and demand mostly comes from completionists. A $0.51 modelled guide, up 70% over 30 days on 1 copy traded, says bulk, with 182 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.11 out of Perfect Order.
