# Swellow #103/146 — XY

## Summary

Swellow is a Hoenn bird with a modest but steady following, and its Drive Off Ability gave it a niche as a gust-style disruptor in decks that wanted to drag up a weak Benched target. Mizue's name adds appeal, but a mid-tier Rare in a large set keeps demand quiet. A $0.44 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $35, 79 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 $0.06 out of Destined Rivals.
