# Zigzagoon #79/109 — Ruby & Sapphire

## Summary

Zigzagoon is the Hoenn starter-route common, and in the first set of the Ruby & Sapphire era it was simply bulk, a coin-flip attacker nobody built around. Atsuko Nishida, a longtime Pokémon artist, adds a modest draw for completionists. At a $1.41 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 21 copies traded, with 269 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.10 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
