# Growlithe #21/214 — Unbroken Bonds

## Summary

Growlithe is a bulk common, a Basic Fire type that filled out the Unbroken Bonds binder page without anyone chasing it. Its draw is the Kantō puppy's long-standing fan loyalty, and Tetsuya Koizumi's name is a small bonus for illustrator collectors. A $0.29 modelled guide, down 19% over 30 days on 26 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,687 days of inventory sitting 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 $0.22 out of Destined Rivals.
