# Iron Thorns #062/162 — Temporal Forces

## Summary

Iron Thorns is a Paradox Pokémon, a cult favorite among players who like Gen 9's odd, machine-like takes on old monsters, and Destructo-Press rewarded the Future decks of its set. As a plain Rare it was a mid-tier pull, useful for builders and little else. A $0.22 modelled guide, up 10% over 30 days on 31 copies traded, says bulk, with 964 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a CGC 10 brings $55, 250 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
