# Pupitar #038/078 — Pokémon GO

## Summary

Pupitar is the awkward middle stage of the Larvitar line, so collectors tend to want it for Tyranitar completion rather than for itself. Uncommon in a set built around the Pokémon GO mobile crossover, it was filler for most pulls, with demand coming mostly from Johto-nostalgia binder builders. A $0.16 modelled guide, up 23% over 30 days on 20 copies traded, says bulk, with 2,160 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 194 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
