# Misty's Poliwag #89/132 — Gym Challenge

## Summary

Misty's Poliwag is a bulk common from the Gym Leader expansions, where the draw was Misty's other Pokémon and the trainer-owned rares, not a Water Basic like this. Sugimori's name on the credit line, and Poliwag's Kanto roots, give completionists a small, steady reason to keep one. The modelled guide sits at $2.64 with 21 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
