# Skitty #71/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Skitty is a Hoenn common from the very first Ruby & Sapphire print run, a bulk pull with a coin-flip attack that never earned a tournament slot. Atsuko Nishida, among the franchise's earliest and most respected illustrators, gives it a small nostalgic pull for Gen III completionists and Skitty fans. The modelled guide sits at $2.30, up 2% over 30 days on 18 copies traded, with 113 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $50, 22 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
