# Espathra #103/198 — Scarlet & Violet

## Summary

Espathra is a Gen IX Psychic ostrich with a loyal following, and its Energy-scaling attack made it a handy tech in Psychic lists of its era. As an Uncommon it was an ordinary pull in the base set, so demand rests on Hitoshi Ariga's name and Paldea fans. A $0.13 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 31 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,316 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.08 out of Surging Sparks.
