# Misty's Shellder #89/132 — Gym Heroes

## Summary

Misty's Shellder is a bulk common from the Gym Leader-themed WOTC era, the sort of pull that filled out a binder without anyone chasing it. Ken Sugimori's name on the artwork credit and the Kanto gym tie-in give completionists a small, loyal reason to keep a copy. The modelled guide sits at $3.74 with 8 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.
