# Fuecoco #201/193 — Paldea Evolved

## Summary

Fuecoco is the Paldea Fire starter that won fans over with its sleepy, perpetually hungry personality, and Illustration rares of starters tend to sell on that affection alone. In Paldea Evolved this was a chase-tier pull, so the demand comes from collectors and kantaro's following, not from tournament play. At a $39 sold median, down 1% over 30 days on 114 copies traded, with only 27 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.12 out of Surging Sparks; a PSA 10 brings $380, 9.7 times raw, but a 19% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
