# Tangrowth #2/214 — Lost Thunder

## Summary

Tangrowth is a Sinnoh-era Grass evolution with a quiet following, and Atsuko Nishida, an original Pokémon card illustrator, gives it some extra pedigree. As a plain Rare in Lost Thunder it was a mid-tier pull, and its healing-triggered attack suited decks built around recovery. A $0.31 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 6 copies traded, says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 102 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.07 out of Mega Evolution.
