# Typhlosion #17/115 — Unseen Forces

## Summary

Typhlosion is the Johto starter many fans consider the pick of the region, and Unseen Forces put it in the set's mid-tier rare slot, a solid pull rather than a chase. Its Burning Aura Poke-Body made it an oddball of the format, and Hajime Kusajima's name adds a quiet draw for illustrator completists. The modelled guide sits at $540 with 1 copy traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
