# Cryogonal #055/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Cryogonal is a Gen V oddity, a Basic Water type that never evolves, and its small cult following loves it for exactly that strangeness. A common in Obsidian Flames, it is a bulk pull, while kirisAki's credit gives illustration fans a reason to look twice. A $0.16 modelled guide, up 46% over 30 days on 15 copies traded, says bulk, with 2,030 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.06 out of Surging Sparks.
