# Swampert #13/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Swampert is the Hoenn starter fans rank near the top, and Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran of the game's earliest artwork, handled this one. Its Water Call Poke-Power fed Energy to the Active Pokémon, a fast engine that helped Water decks, and as a holo it was a proper pull. The modelled guide sits at $87 with 12 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
