# Staraptor #27/100 — Stormfront

## Summary

Staraptor is a Sinnoh starter-adjacent favorite, the bird nearly every Gen IV player ended up raising, and its Stage 2 line gives this card a fan base beyond the Colorless faithful. Kouki Saitou is a respected name among illustrators, though as a regular Rare it sits mid-tier in Stormfront. The modelled guide sits at $1.19 with no copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
