# Amoonguss #012/195 — Silver Tempest

## Summary

Amoonguss has a loyal following thanks to its Pokéball-mimicking Foongus pre-evolution, and this Surprise Spores version rewarded tricky players who liked punishing discard effects. Gossan is a respected name, but as a mid-tier Rare, demand stays modest and steady. A $0.17 modelled guide, up 42% over 30 days on 17 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,493 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
