# Politoed #12/146 — Legends Awakened

## Summary

Politoed is a Johto-era Water type with a steady following, and this Rare Holo sits in the main holo slot of a Diamond & Pearl set that leaned on Gen I and II favorites. The Poliwag-line synergy gave it a niche deck role, though it never ranked among that format's top threats. The modelled guide sits at $33 with 6 copies traded in 30 days; a CGC 10 brings $399, 12 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
