# Carracosta #26/101 — Noble Victories

## Summary

Carracosta is a Gen V fossil Pokémon with a modest fan base, and a plain Rare in Noble Victories sat comfortably outside the chase slots. Its coin-flip damage reduction and Energy-discarding attack made it a playable Water body in the Black & White era, though never a deck-defining one. At a $5.56 modelled guide, up 1% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, with 424 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.20 out of Black Bolt; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
