The Hoshino Verdict
Drawn from the catalog, population reports and recorded sales — no filler.
Chikorita is card 8 of 217 in Ascended Heroes, released in 2026 as part of the Mega Evolution series. It is a Common card, illustrated by Kariya.
PSA reports 5 graded copies, 1 of them Gem Mint 10 (CGC 469 further).
Descriptive market data, not investment advice. The Hoshino Score measures how deep, liquid, widely-traded, dear and scarce this card’s market is from sales and population records we hold. It is not a forecast, not a recommendation, and not a rating of this card as an investment.
Price by grade
What each grade’s real sales say — median of what actually sold.
Each grade is priced on the median of its own real sales — never averaged across grades, and never across printings. A 1st Edition, Shadowless or No Rarity copy is a different market from the ordinary print, so it gets its own row; where a grade holds sales of more than one printing and we cannot tell which copy sold, it is shown without a price — we abstain rather than publish the blend.
| Tier | Price | Confidence | Liquidity | Basis | Obs. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raw (ungraded) | $0.21 | — | — | market estimate (guide) | 31 |
| PSA 8 | — | — | — | no sales on record yet · pop 1 | |
| PSA 9 | — | — | — | no sales on record yet · pop 3 | |
| PSA 10 | — | — | — | no sales on record yet · pop 1 |
Cross-market comparisons and arbitrage routes are computed within one grade — PSA 10 against PSA 10, raw against raw. A route is never built from two different grades.

Every point is a real population reading taken on the date shown — first reading 2026-08-27, latest 2026-09-19 (23 days). That is the whole window we hold for this card; it is not a one-year trend and we will not present it as one. A population can only grow — a card cannot be un-graded — so where a reading came back lower than the one before it, that is a partial crawl and the series carries the higher figure forward rather than drawing a fall that never happened.
CGC 10, CGC 9, CGC 8 are left out of the trend above. Every reading we hold for those tiers sits inside the stretch where our own coverage was still filling in, so we know the current count but not what it grew from — and a crawl completing is not a card being graded. The count itself is in the table above.
Why this matters: scarcity is a flow, not a constant. A tier whose count is climbing is getting less scarce while its price chart says nothing at all — and a tier that has not moved in weeks is holding its scarcity. Nobody else publishes this per grade.
