# Blitzle #47/99 — Next Destinies

## Summary

Blitzle is a Unova common, one of those early-route Lightning Pokémon that fans remember fondly even if few ever built around it. Thunder Jolt's coin-flip recoil kept it a binder filler, so demand rests on sui's name and Gen V completionists rather than tournament memory. A $0.26 modelled guide, down 4% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,606 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $36, 138 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
