# Ledian #23/109 — Team Rocket Returns

## Summary

Ledian is a Johto Bug type that never won over fans the way its Gen II neighbors did, so demand here is modest and mostly completist. The Poke-Body shrugging off damage from owner-named Pokémon was a clever nod to Team Rocket Returns' Dark and Rocket's Pokémon theme, though never a competitive force. At a $2.18 modelled guide, with 3 copies traded in 30 days, 89% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.23 out of Stellar Crown; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
