# Floatzel #049/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Floatzel is an uncommon Stage 1 from Obsidian Flames, a mid-tier pull that sat well below that set's chase slots, so demand stays modest. Sinnoh Water types keep a loyal following, and Kouki Saitou is a long-time contributor to the TCG's illustration roster. A $0.12 modelled guide, down 8% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, says bulk, with 6,000 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.07 out of Destined Rivals.
