# Zekrom #056/128 — 30th Celebration

## Summary

Zekrom is the Black Version legend, the Lightning dragon fans have loved since Unova, and it has stayed a staple of anniversary sets for that reason. As a plain Rare it is a mid-tier pull, so the draw here is nostalgia for the Pokémon and its Fire-partner attack, not scarcity. The sold median sits at $0.10, down 41% over 30 days on 1,042 copies traded, with 105 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file.
