# Croconaw #19/73 — Shining Legends

## Summary

Croconaw is a common in a set built around its Shining Pokémon, so it was never what anyone opened packs for. Johto starters keep a loyal following, and Plunge's energy-shuffling trick gave it a little bench utility, which is plenty for a mid-evolution common. A $0.23 modelled guide, down 12% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, says bulk, with 612 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.13 out of Ascended Heroes.
