# Quilava #47/111 — Neo Genesis

## Summary

Quilava is the middle step of the Johto starter line, a Pokémon fans rate below its bookends, so it never gets the spotlight. A Neo Genesis uncommon with Ken Sugimori credited, it was a filler evolution that now draws mainly Gen II nostalgia collectors. The modelled guide sits at $4.26, down 9% over 30 days on 30 copies traded, with 925 days of inventory sitting 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.
