# Dottler #184/182 — Paradox Rift

## Summary

Dottler is a modest Galar Bug evolution with a devoted niche following, and its Illustration rare treatment is the only reason anyone is hunting it. Tetsu Kayama is a respected illustrator, and a Stage 1 with a coin-flip stall never mattered in competitive play, so demand here is pure collector affection. The modelled guide sits at $5.76, up 20% over 30 days on 124 copies traded, with 88 days of inventory on the board; PSA has slabbed 441 of these and 172 are 10s, a 39% gem rate, but no graded market has formed to price the slab.
