# Blipbug #017/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Blipbug is a Galar-region bug that opened the Sword & Shield era as a plain common, the kind of pull that fills a binder slot without anyone chasing it. Its small draw comes from Gen 8 completionists and its Call for Family bench-filling, a modest utility that keeps it a playable throw-in. A $0.14 modelled guide, up 8% over 30 days on 8 copies traded, says bulk, with 3,333 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
