# Slugma #028/162 — Temporal Forces

## Summary

Slugma is a Johto-born Fire type with a quiet following, and Haru Akasaka is a name collectors recognise from the illustrator credits. As a common in Temporal Forces it was bulk, a pull that fills a page, so interest comes mostly from completionists and Gen II fans. A $0.09 modelled guide, down 31% over 30 days on 15 copies traded, says bulk, with 593 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 brings $28, 311 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
