# Lysandre #78/98 — Ancient Origins

## Summary

Lysandre is a Supporter built around the gust effect, forcing an opponent's Benched Pokémon into the Active spot, which made it a useful target-the-weak-link tool in its day. As an uncommon it was an ordinary pull, so the interest here is Ken Sugimori's name on the credit and the villain's place in the XY story. A $0.24 modelled guide, up 14% over 30 days on 8 copies traded, says bulk, with 194 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 134 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
