# Chikorita #100/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Chikorita is a bulk common, a Basic filler pull in a set that leaned on its holos and rares. Johto's starter keeps a devoted following, and Fujiwara's work comes from the original Wizards-era illustrator roster, so completionists and nostalgic Grass collectors supply the modest, steady demand. At a $9.60 modelled guide, with 15 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.17 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
