# Masquerain #2/101 — Plasma Blast

## Summary

Masquerain is a Hoenn Bug-Grass oddity that never had a big fan base, so demand here leans on completionists and Plasma Blast collectors. Tool Reversal was a clever utility trick in a format full of Tools, though 5ban Graphics' work keeps it a modest mid-tier Rare. A $0.73 modelled guide, up 11% over 30 days on 3 copies traded, says bulk, with 212 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
