# Poochyena #64/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Poochyena is a Hoenn starter-route common, the kind of Basic that filled out early Ruby & Sapphire packs and the first Pokémon many Gen III players ever caught. Atsuko Nishida, an original Pokémon card illustrator, adds a small pedigree, but demand stays with Hoenn nostalgists and set completionists. At a $1.50 modelled guide, with 8 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.09 out of Twilight Masquerade; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
