# Hippowdon #69/156 — Ultra Prism

## Summary

Hippowdon is a Gen IV Ground heavyweight with a modest but loyal following among Sinnoh-era fans, and it has always been more respected as a sturdy battler than adored as a mascot. As a plain Rare in Ultra Prism, it sat in the mid-tier, a useful pull but never the chase. A $0.14 modelled guide, down 7% over 30 days on 15 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,303 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, and the same card plays for $0.04 out of Perfect Order.
