# Kingler #26/112 — FireRed & LeafGreen

## Summary

Kingler carries real Gen I nostalgia, and this FireRed & LeafGreen printing is a Kanto remake-era mid-tier Rare, neither chase nor bulk. Its Salt Water energy acceleration gave it a little competitive curiosity, though collectors mostly come for Kouki Saitou's artwork and the region's pull. The modelled guide sits at $2.86 with 1 copy traded in 30 days, with 424 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, and the slabbed population has not grown in 30 days, slower than 86% of tracked cards.
