# Nidoqueen #9/112 — FireRed & LeafGreen

## Summary

Nidoqueen carries real Gen I goodwill, and Naoyo Kimura is a name longtime collectors respect. As a plain Rare in a remake-era set it was a mid-tier pull, never a chase slot, so demand rests on nostalgia and Nidoran-line completists. The modelled guide sits at $32, down 2% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, with 242 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.
