Market outlook
Stable Outlook 5/10
Modern Art Rares usually stabilize after the initial release wave unless the character becomes especially popular in competitive play or among character collectors. Conkeldurr has steady but not elite demand, so prices are more likely to settle than surge.[2][4][6]
Next months. Expect price movement to be mostly grade-driven, with graded 10 and equivalent gem-mint copies holding the strongest premium.
Long term. Over 1-3 years, the card is likely to remain a collectible modern Art Rare with incremental gains only if sealed Black Bolt product tightens or Korean-language collectors expand demand.
History
Conkeldurr is the English name of 노보청 (Japanese: ローブシン, Roubushin), a Fighting-type Stage 2 Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It evolves from Gurdurr and is known in the Pokédex lore for its extraordinary physical strength and its association with construction; the species is said to have taught humans how to make concrete more than 2,000 years ago.[5] In the TCG, Conkeldurr has appeared in multiple sets over the years, making it a recognizable mid-era Pokémon rather than a one-off character.[6]
The Full Art illustration rare version of Conkeldurr was first released in Japan as part of the Black Bolt expansion in June 2025.[1][5] This specific card is the Korean-language printing from the 2025 Black Bolt release cycle, with card number 133/086 and Art Rare treatment.[1][7]
- This card is an Art Rare / Full Art style pull from random booster packs, not a guaranteed product insert, which contributed to its low pack odds.[1]
- Bulbapedia identifies the Full Art illustration rare artwork as by Kazumasa Yasukuni, while the Regular print in the same expansion uses different artwork.[5]
- Conkeldurr appears across at least seven Pokémon TCG sets overall, so this Black Bolt printing is part of an established collectible character history rather than a standalone debut card.[6]

Collector notes
Condition. Check for surface scratching on the holo/foil areas, edge whitening, corner wear, centering, and any print-line defects. Full Art cards often show visible wear on dark or textured sections more easily than regular cards, and pack-fresh copies can still have factory edge chipping or holo scuffs.
Storage. Store in a penny sleeve plus rigid top loader or semi-rigid holder, and keep it away from heat, humidity, and UV exposure. If grading is planned, avoid repeated handling and use clean, lint-free gloves or careful edge handling.
Authenticity. Verify the Korean text layout, correct card number 133/086, and the proper Black Bolt expansion styling. Counterfeits often show blurry text, incorrect foil pattern, off-color printing, or inconsistent card stock thickness. For higher-value copies, compare the holo pattern and typography against known authentic examples from reputable listings or graded slabs.
