# Shellder #19/83 — Generations

## Summary

Shellder is a Gen I Water Pokémon with a modest but steady following, mostly through its Cloyster evolution and the Slowbro and Slowking connection. A common in Generations, it was pack filler rather than a chase, so Naoyo Kimura's illustration draws only quiet completionist interest. A $0.16 modelled guide, down 11% over 30 days on 9 copies traded, says bulk, with 340 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $34, 215 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
