# Totodile #135/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Totodile is a bulk common from Expedition, a set better known for its holofoil chases than for pulls like this one. Johto's Water starter keeps a devoted fan base, so demand comes from nostalgic completionists and Aimi Tomita collectors rather than from any tournament relevance. At a $26 modelled guide, up 23% on asks over 30 days on 19 copies traded, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.23 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
