# Tangela #78/100 — Stormfront

## Summary

Tangela is a bulk common from a set whose chase slots sat elsewhere, a Grass pull that mostly filled binder pages and deck boxes without drawing attention. Gen I nostalgia and Yukiko Baba's long run on the Pokémon TCG give completionists a modest reason to keep it. A $0.50 modelled guide, up 16% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, says bulk, with 164 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 $0.07 out of Mega Evolution.
