# Chimchar #21/156 — Ultra Prism

## Summary

Chimchar is the Sinnoh Fire starter that a generation of Diamond and Pearl players grew up with, and its fanbase has stayed devoted through Infernape's later popularity. As a plain common in a Sun & Moon-era set, it was a bulk pull, so demand comes from nostalgia and Kouki Saitou's following. A $0.09 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 22 copies traded, says bulk, with 204 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
