# Groudon #84/160 — Primal Clash

## Summary

Groudon is a Hoenn cover legend with a devoted following, and Primal Clash is the set built around its Primal form, so a regular Basic like this sits one step off the main event. Mitsuhiro Arita, who illustrated the original Base Set, adds a quiet nostalgic pull for those who value his name. At a $1.26 modelled guide, with 2 copies traded in 30 days, 86% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.18 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
