# Poliwrath #35/146 — Legends Awakened

## Summary

Poliwrath is a Kanto Stage 2 with a quiet loyal following, and Mitsuhiro Arita, who illustrated the very first Base Set cards, lends this printing real pedigree. A plain Rare in a deep Diamond & Pearl-era set, it sits comfortably as a mid-tier pull rather than a chase. At a $2.80 modelled guide, with 1 copy traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.23 out of Twilight Masquerade; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
