# Voltorb #44/146 — XY

## Summary

Voltorb is a bulk common from the opening XY set, loved by Gen I fans for its Poké Ball disguise, and Destiny Burst gave it a gambler's streak that never reached competitive lists. Atsuko Nishida, an artist tied to Pokémon since the earliest days, gives completionists a quiet reason to look. A $0.23 modelled guide, down 30% over 30 days on 14 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,273 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a CGC 10 brings $59, 259 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
