# Spongy Gloves #243/264 — Fusion Strike

## Summary

Spongy Gloves is a Pokémon Tool built to push Water-type attackers, a niche play in a format dominated by bigger engines, so competitive weight was modest. Toyste Beach's name draws a small following, but as an uncommon this is a pull most collectors skip past. A $0.07 modelled guide, up 250% over 30 days on 29 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,759 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
