# Kakuna #4/146 — XY

## Summary

Kakuna is a mid-evolution Bug that fans mostly remember as the stiff, waiting chrysalis between Weedle and Beedrill, and its charm is that awkward honesty. Harden gave it a modest defensive trick, but as an Uncommon in the base XY set it was simply filler, so demand stays gentle and nostalgic. A $0.35 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 3 copies traded, says bulk, with 30 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.17 out of Chaos Rising.
