# Onix #61/116 — Plasma Freeze

## Summary

Onix is a Kantō original with a quiet fan following, remembered as the rock snake guarding Pewter Gym and the first real wall for many Red and Blue trainers. As a Black & White era uncommon, it was a mid-tier pull, and Toyste Beach's name keeps illustrator completists looking. A $0.67 modelled guide, up 3% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, says bulk, with 100 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $44, 65 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
