# Corviknight VMAX #171/163 — Battle Styles

## Summary

Corviknight is the Galar region's armored taxi bird and a solid Gen 8 favorite, and a secret-slot VMAX sits at the very back of Battle Styles, a pull most collectors will never open. Its Metal VMAX role in competitive play was modest, so demand rests on rarity and Galar loyalty. The modelled guide sits at $13, up 6% over 30 days on 21 copies traded, with 172 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $50, 3.9 times raw, but a 41% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
