# Shuckle GX #17/214 — Lost Thunder

## Summary

Shuckle has a devoted cult following as Johto's most gloriously stubborn oddball, so a GX version gives that fanbase a rare treat. Its Protective Shell ability made it a quirky wall in the Sun & Moon era, and the Ultra Rare slot kept it a genuine pull. The modelled guide sits at $8.96, down 11% over 30 days on 36 copies traded, with 380 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $148, 16 times raw, but a 40% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade, and the slabbed population has not grown in 30 days, slower than 86% of tracked cards.
