# Carvanha #042/162 — Temporal Forces

## Summary

Carvanha is a Hoenn Water-type common, the sort of pull that fills out a binder page without anyone hunting for it. Souichirou Gunjima is a respected name among illustrators, and the Basic's small appeal is Gen III completists, who give a bulk card like this modest, steady attention. A $0.08 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 27 copies traded, says bulk, with 470 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
