# Gallade (Japanese) #040 — XY8-Br: Red Flash

## Summary

Six weeks before English players saw BREAKthrough, Japan had Gallade in Red Flash, out in September 2015, with the English set following that November. The Japanese Gallade is a regular Rare, a mid-tier pull rather than a chase slot. It leans into motion: the Pokémon slashes across a streaked, pale blue and white background, green and white body in full swing against a burnt-orange frame. The modelled guide sits at $3.00; no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 would fetch about $30 against $65 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
