# Armaldo #3/108 — Power Keepers

## Summary

Armaldo is a Hoenn fossil Pokémon with a devoted following among fans of the Root and Claw Fossil lines, and a Ken Sugimori credit carries weight as the original designer's own work. Rock Blast's spread damage gave it a niche, but a mid-tier Rare was never a chase slot. The modelled guide sits at $16 with 9 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
