# Rocket's Poké Ball #89/109 — Team Rocket Returns

## Summary

Rocket's Poké Ball is a utility Trainer that found a home in decks built around the Dark-named Pokémon of the Team Rocket era, a small but real tournament job. As an uncommon it was a mid-tier pull, so demand comes from Team Rocket nostalgia and completists, plus Ryo Ueda's name on the credit line. The modelled guide sits at $6.12, up 3% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, with 90 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
