# Croconaw #16/119 — Phantom Forces

## Summary

Croconaw is the awkward middle stage of a Johto starter line that fans still adore, and it rarely gets its own spotlight. An Uncommon in Phantom Forces, it filled out a mid-tier slot, so demand comes from Feraligatr and Totodile devotees finishing a family, not from competitive play. A $0.50 modelled guide, up 16% over 30 days on 2 copies traded, says bulk, with only 30 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, and the same card plays for $0.23 out of Ascended Heroes.
