# Dark Donphan #3/105 — Neo Destiny

## Summary

Dark Donphan sits in Neo Destiny's Dark Pokémon run, a mid-tier Rare that drew its appeal from the Shining-era mood of that set and Donphan's quiet Johto following. Yoshida's name adds a small premium among WOTC-era illustration purists, though it never worked as a headline chase slot. The modelled guide sits at $56, up 1% over 30 days on 15 copies traded, with 273 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.
