# Hypnotoxic Laser #123/135 — Plasma Storm

## Summary

Hypnotoxic Laser was a format staple in the Black & White years, a cheap Item that loaded Poison and a coin-flip Sleep onto the Active Pokémon, which suited the status-heavy decks of the day. As an uncommon it was never scarce, so its pull comes from playability, not rarity. The modelled guide sits at $2.54 with 40 copies traded in 30 days, and the tape reads as a steady markup with inventory under control; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
