# Litleo (Japanese) #011 — XY4: Phantom Gate

## Summary

Litleo is the little lion cub that Kalos players met as an early Fire-type choice, and its scruffy mane and cheeky grin made it an easy favourite long before it grew into Pyroar. On the Japanese common from XY4: Phantom Gate, it sits on a grassy path under bright orange framing, mid-stride and glancing back. Japan got the set in September 2014, ahead of Phantom Forces in English, and as bulk it makes a cheerful, inexpensive way to hold the earlier release. The modelled guide sits at $2.65, up 78% over 30 days on 1 copy traded, with 273 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $25 against $45 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
