# Elekid #23/115 — Unseen Forces

## Summary

Elekid carries the Baby Evolution Poke-Power, a mechanic from the EX era that let a baby Pokémon skip its Basic-stage awkwardness and evolve for free, which made these cards a quiet utility pick around Electabuzz lines. Yuka Morii's long Pokémon illustration career adds a modest layer of collector interest. The modelled guide sits at $22, up 2% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, with 179 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
