# Cacturne #10/116 — Plasma Freeze

## Summary

Cacturne is a Hoenn Grass type with a quiet following among fans of Gen III's odder designs, and a mid-tier Rare like this sat comfortably below the set's real chase slots. Suwama Chiaki is a long-serving illustrator, so completionists tend to pick it up on name alone. A $0.53 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $40, 76 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
