# Ludicolo #7/100 — Sandstorm

## Summary

Ludicolo is a Hoenn Stage 2 with a devoted following, thanks to its cheerful, dancing-pineapple charm, and this is the Ruby & Sapphire-era holo that suits it. Tomokazu Komiya, an early EX-era illustrator, adds a collector hook, while Rain Dish's steady healing gave it modest, if unspectacular, playability. At a $59 modelled guide, up 6% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, with 394 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.12 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
