# Switch #102/123 — HeartGold SoulSilver

## Summary

Switch is a plain retreat-cost solver that made its way into plenty of decks during the HGSS years, when heavy Stage 2 and Legends builds needed a cheap way to pivot. As an uncommon Trainer it was never a chase slot, so demand is purely utilitarian and modest. At a $1.54 modelled guide, with 11 copies traded in 30 days, 85% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.23 out of Mega Evolution; a PSA 10 guides at $46, 30 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
