# Torterra #58/131 — Forbidden Light

## Summary

Torterra is the Sinnoh starter's final form, and Turtwig's line has a loyal following among Gen IV fans who like a Grass starter that ends up part mountain. As a Stage 2 with a self-damaging Earthquake, it was a playable but unremarkable pull, and kawayoo's illustration is the draw. The modelled guide sits at $0.68, up 2% over 30 days on 29 copies traded, with 1,333 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $43, 63 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
