# Cacnea #58/100 — Sandstorm

## Summary

Cacnea is a bulk common from the Hoenn-era EX years, a plain Basic that filled out Sandstorm without anyone chasing it. The desert cactus has a modest but loyal following among Gen III fans, and Midori Harada's name gives completionists a small extra reason to keep a copy. The modelled guide sits at $1.56, up 3% over 30 days on 18 copies traded, with 109 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $20, 13 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
