# Poliwrath #21/95 — Unleashed

## Summary

Poliwrath is a Kantō original with a sturdy fanbase among Water-type loyalists, and Naoyo Kimura is a long-serving illustrator whose work collectors recognize. In Unleashed a plain Rare sat a tier below the Holo Rares and Prime pulls, so demand comes from fondness, not chase pressure. At a $5.00 modelled guide, down 7% over 30 days on 3 copies traded, with 121 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Twilight Masquerade; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
