# Simisear #20/135 — Plasma Storm

## Summary

Simisear is a Unova Fire monkey with a modest following, mostly among players who picked Tepig-less Black and White teams or simply liked the elemental monkeys. As an Uncommon in a Plasma Storm pack, it was filler between the rares, so demand is mostly Naoki Saito completists and Fire-type binder builders. A $0.32 modelled guide, down 6% over 30 days on 3 copies traded, says bulk, with 45 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.07 out of Surging Sparks.
