# Krabby #042/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Krabby is a base-set common from the first Sword & Shield expansion, the sort of pull that fills a binder page rather than anchoring a pack. Kanto Water types keep a quiet nostalgic following, and Ryoma Uratsuka's name adds a small completist hook for illustrator collectors. A $0.25 modelled guide, up 4% over 30 days on 25 copies traded, says bulk, with 690 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
