# Orthworm #151/193 — Paldea Evolved

## Summary

Orthworm is a Paldea-native Steel type with a modest but real following among players who like odd, sturdy designs, and Hitoshi Ariga is a long-serving illustrator whose name carries weight with artist-focused collectors. A standard Rare in a large set, it sits as a solid mid-tier pull, not a chase slot. A $0.19 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 38 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,313 days of inventory 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.
