# Tropius #195/193 — Paldea Evolved

## Summary

Tropius is a quirky Hoenn favorite, a banana-bearing dinosaur that has long drawn affection far beyond its modest battling record. As an Illustration rare in Paldea Evolved it sat in the set's premium art tier, so demand comes from Jerky's fans and Grass-type completists, not from tournament tables. At a $13 modelled guide, up 1% over 30 days on 78 copies traded, with 95 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.10 out of Pitch Black; a PSA 10 brings $200, 15 times raw, but a 21% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
