# Sharpedo #22/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Sharpedo was a Hoenn headliner from the first set of the Ruby & Sapphire generation, a Water-Dark predator with a loyal following among fans of Team Aqua's mascot. Hajime Kusajima is a long-serving illustrator, and a regular Rare here sits as a mid-tier pull, not a chase slot. The modelled guide sits at $3.69, up 6% over 30 days on 20 copies traded, with 105 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $151, 41 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
