Team Rocket's Raticate - 202/182 Price
MARKET NOTE: TEAM ROCKET'S RATICATE - 202/182
Updated 2026-05-06
Team Rocket's Raticate is selling off after a sharp 30-day run, signaling classic profit-taking behavior from early buyers who caught the +23.7% move. The spec peaked at $7.53 and has retreated -7.8% from that high, now sitting at $6.94 with fresh downside pressure showing in the -3.1% weekly decline. This pullback remains measured: the card is still up +24.4% from its 23-day trough of $5.58, meaning recent entrants who bought near the floor are holding diamond hands while earlier specs took their gains off the table. The Illustration Rare from Destined Rivals appears to have exhausted its initial wave of hype-driven demand. Watch whether the NM floor holds $6.50 or breaks lower; a sustained close below $6.00 would suggest the move is cooked and demand has genuinely evaporated rather than simply consolidated. Until supply pressure eases or fresh catalyst emerges, this is a correction in motion, not a reversal.
