# Pokémon Communication #152/181 — Team Up

## Summary

Pokémon Communication is a Trainer Item that's been a quiet utility staple across multiple eras, swapping a dead Pokémon in hand for the one a deck actually needs, so its value is that of a tool rather than a trophy. Ayaka Yoshida is a well-regarded illustrator, but as an Uncommon this is plain playset filler. A $0.16 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 3 copies traded, says bulk, with 692 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
