# Jynx #36/83 — Generations

## Summary

Jynx is a Kantō original with a loyal, slightly contrarian following, and this Generations printing leans into that anniversary spirit as a mid-tier Rare rather than a chase pull. Naoki Saito is a long-running Pokémon illustrator, so the draw here is nostalgia, not tournament power. A $0.40 modelled guide, up 60% over 30 days on 22 copies traded, says bulk, with only 20 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.13 out of Pitch Black.
