# Frogadier #23/131 — Forbidden Light

## Summary

Frogadier is the middle step of the Greninja line, which carries one of the most devoted followings among Kalos starters, so even a modest evolution draws attention. Its snipe-style Ability suited Greninja decks of the period, but as an Uncommon in Forbidden Light it stayed a simple pull. A $0.46 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 21 copies traded, says bulk, with 418 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $34, 74 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
