# Meganium #11/111 — Neo Genesis

## Summary

Meganium is Johto's Grass starter finale, and Chikorita's line has a devoted following that Neo Genesis was built to serve. Its Wild Growth Power was the draw for Grass decks of the era, and a Ken Sugimori credit, the designer behind the original Pokémon, adds weight for collectors. At a $104 sold median, down 1% over 30 days on 19 copies traded, with 149 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.19 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
