# Mantine #052/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Mantine is a gentle Johto Water type with a quiet following among collectors who love Generation II oddballs. Its energy-search attack made it handy support in Water decks of the early Sword & Shield format, though as an uncommon it was a mid-tier pull, wanted mostly for completion. A $0.30 modelled guide, up 25% over 30 days on 14 copies traded, says bulk, with 582 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 104 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
