# Kingler #044/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Kingler is a Gen I Water type with a quiet but loyal following among Kanto-era fans, and Tetsuya Koizumi is a longtime contributor to the card game's artwork. As a mid-tier Uncommon from the opening Sword & Shield set, it rounded out the Water lineup rather than chasing the headlines, so demand stays modest. A $0.19 modelled guide, down 5% over 30 days on 22 copies traded, says bulk, with 255 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 166 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
