# Cacnea #9/116 — Plasma Freeze

## Summary

Cacnea is a bulk common from the Black & White years, a Hoenn Grass type whose cactus-and-scarecrow charm earns it a modest following among Gen III completionists. Midori Harada, long a familiar name on Pokémon commons, gives binder-fillers like this a steady, collectible hand, though demand stays quiet. A $0.29 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 10 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,194 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
