# Pokémon Communication #27/30 — HS trainer Kit (Gyarados)

## Summary

Pokémon Communication was a workhorse Trainer in the HeartGold and SoulSilver era, swapping a Pokémon from hand for one in the deck. Appearing in a preconstructed kit rather than boosters, it carries a player's appeal, never a collector's chase. A $0.97 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
