# Shiinotic #17/149 — Sun & Moon

## Summary

Shiinotic's Illuminate was a real deck-thinning engine, fetching any Grass Pokémon each turn, so it saw genuine tournament play in Grass builds of its format. A plain Rare in the opening Sun & Moon set, it has a modest fan base and a Mizue illustration, so demand is quiet. A $0.53 modelled guide, down 13% over 30 days on 13 copies traded, says bulk, with 90 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 $0.08 out of Surging Sparks.
