# Heracross #194/193 — Paldea Evolved

## Summary

Heracross carries a devoted Johto following, helped by its long run as a Bug-type fan pick that never quite got the spotlight it deserved. As an Illustration Rare in Paldea Evolved, it sat in the full-art chase tier, where Kurata So's work draws collectors who buy the illustrator as much as the Pokémon. At a $30 modelled guide, down 9% over 30 days on 113 copies traded, with only 23 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.22 out of Twilight Masquerade; a PSA 10 brings $375, 13 times raw, but a 20% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
