# Cradily #3/100 — Sandstorm

## Summary

Cradily has a quiet cult following among Hoenn fans who love the fossil lines, and its Poke-Body that traps the opponent's Active gave it a niche, tricky role in play. Harada is a long-serving Pokémon illustrator, and a holo rare here was a respectable mid-tier pull. At a $13 modelled guide, with 8 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.22 out of Stellar Crown; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
