# Dottler #018/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Dottler is a Galar-debut Bug evolution that fans mostly know as the quiet middle step between Blipbug and Orbeetle, so it lacks a personal following. As an Uncommon in the base set it was ordinary pack filler, and Misa Tsutsui's illustration is the only real reason a completionist would reach for it. A $0.03 modelled guide, down 25% over 30 days on 82 copies traded, says bulk, with 297 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
