Collecting Cacturne

Cacturne's priciest pull is the 2005 Emerald Cacturne ex, a Rare Holo EX from the same three-set run that gave a lot of Hoenn Pokémon their signature EX cards. The rest of the 13-card pool is modest — seven commons and uncommons, three cards clearing real money. Atsuko Nishida drew it twice; past that the art credits are all one-offs, including entries from DOM and Tomokazu Komiya.
