# Kingler #15/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Kingler is a Kanto Water Pokémon with a steady fanbase among those who grew up on Red and Blue, and a holo from Expedition, the first e-Card-era set, has little competition from newer printings. A Holo Rare there was a real pull, while the coin-flip attacks kept it a collector's piece. The modelled guide sits at $102, up 51% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, with 134 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
