# Claydol #15/106 — Great Encounters

## Summary

Claydol's Cosmic Power made it a respected draw engine in the Diamond & Pearl era, letting decks reshuffle weak hands into fresh ones, and the Hoenn Stage 1 stayed a utility staple rather than a headliner. As a mid-tier Rare, it draws players and Hoenn completionists, not chase hunters. At a $5.18 modelled guide, with 6 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.05 out of Chaos Rising; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
