# Blipbug #016/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Blipbug is a Galar-region starter bug, the first rung of a line that ends in Orbeetle, and bulk commons like it round out a base set rather than anchor one. Nagimiso gives it a modest illustrator credit, but demand stays small and limited to Sword & Shield completionists. A $0.04 modelled guide, up 300% over 30 days on 70 copies traded, says bulk, with 115 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
