# Beedrill #3/116 — Plasma Freeze

## Summary

Beedrill is a Kanto Bug-Poison favorite that has never lost its pull with players who grew up on Red and Blue, and a Stage 2 Rare from Plasma Freeze was a mid-tier pull, not a chase slot. Kawayoo's name adds a small draw for illustrator collectors, though demand stays modest. A $0.99 modelled guide with 3 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $46, 46 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
