# Dark Quilava #39/105 — Neo Destiny

## Summary

Dark Quilava is a Neo Destiny uncommon, a mid-tier pull in the set that introduced Dark and Light Pokémon, so it sits well below the shiny chase slots. Mitsuhiro Arita's name on a Wizards-era card and the Johto starter line's loyal following carry the demand. The modelled guide sits at $25 with 15 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the slabbed population has not grown in 30 days, slower than 86% of tracked cards.
