# Anorith #28/100 — Sandstorm

## Summary

Anorith is a Hoenn fossil Pokémon whose cult following comes from its odd Rock/Bug design and the Claw Fossil revival mechanic, which fans of the Gen III games remember fondly. Ken Sugimori drawing it carries real weight, since he is the original designer, and an Uncommon here is a mid-tier pull for set completionists. The modelled guide sits at $2.99 with 3 copies traded in 30 days; a CGC 10 brings $48, 16 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
