# Chinchou #49/149 — Sun & Moon

## Summary

Chinchou is a Johto Water-Lightning oddity with a small, loyal fanbase, and this common from the opening Sun & Moon set was filler in every pack and a non-factor in tournament play. Ayaka Yoshida's name on the card makes it a completist's pick. The modelled guide sits at $0.07, up 75% over 30 days on 179 copies traded, with only 42 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file.
