# Kakuna #32/95 — Unleashed

## Summary

Kakuna is a mid-evolution uncommon from the HeartGold & SoulSilver era, the sort of pull that fills a binder page without anyone chasing it. Its Speed Evolution attack gave Beedrill decks a tidy shortcut, but demand today rests on Gen I nostalgia and Kyoko Umemoto's name. A $0.56 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $45, 80 times raw, but 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 $0.21 out of Chaos Rising.
