# Mega Charizard Y ex #022/217 — Ascended Heroes

## Summary

Charizard needs no introduction to collectors, and a Mega ex revival of the Y form lands squarely on that affection. As a Double rare it's the attainable copy in its set, so demand comes from players and fans who want the Pokémon without chasing the special art treatments. The sold median sits at $4.76, down 14% over 30 days on 1,231 copies traded, with only 4 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $43, 9.0 times raw, but a 76% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade, and the slabbed population is growing 6% a month, faster than 96% of tracked cards.
