Lightning Energy (#6): Rarity & Collectibility
Lightning Energy (#6) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #6/30 of the HGSS Trainer Kit: Gyarados & Raichu set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
