# Electrike #30/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Electrike is an uncommon from the very first Hoenn set, a mid-tier pull that filled out the middle of the rarity ladder rather than chasing anything. Hajime Kusajima is a name Gen III completionists track, and a Basic Lightning type with Thunder Jolt gave it a modest role in budget decks. At a $1.53 modelled guide, up 1% over 30 days on 3 copies traded, with 209 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.11 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
