Brock's Dugtrio

Numbered 22 of 132 in Gym Challenge, released in October 2000, Brock's Dugtrio is a Rare, a Stage 1 Fighting-type carrying 60 HP.

It evolves from Brock's Diglett, so Brock's Dugtrio is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Brock is the Rock-type Gym Leader of Pewter City and Ash's longtime traveling companion. Brock's Dugtrio is part of that themed lineup.

Illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Sugimori is the lead character designer of Pokémon itself, so his card art carries the tight, on-model look that defined how the creatures appear in the games.

Three Digletts in a row. One of the only Pokémon with a literally pluralized body in Gen 1. Base Set Rare with steady raw demand.

Brock's Dugtrio is a non-holo Rare. In Gym Challenge, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Brock's Dugtrio trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.

Gym Challenge shipped in 1st Edition and Unlimited, with no Shadowless print. The trainer-prefix naming runs across the set, and the 1st Edition Brock's Dugtrio carries the Edition 1 stamp and a premium over Unlimited in matching grade.

On Brock's Dugtrio, look at the corners and the framed border first. Non-holo Rares took more handling than the chase holos, so a sharp, centered copy of Brock's Dugtrio in a true PSA 10 is harder to find than the print run suggests.

For Brock's Dugtrio, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Brock's Dugtrio can make sense.
