# Venomoth #29/64 — Jungle

## Summary

Venomoth is a Jungle-era Rare with a Pokémon Power called Shift, a type-changing trick that gave it a cult following in old Wizards-format decks built to dodge Weakness. Ken Sugimori's name on a first-wave card adds the pull of the original Pokémon artist, and Jungle holds nostalgic weight. The modelled guide sits at $6.45, down 2% over 30 days on 45 copies traded, with 1,194 days of inventory on the board; 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.
