# Level Ball #181/163 — Battle Styles

## Summary

Level Ball was a staple search Item in Sword & Shield-era decks, quietly fetching small Pokémon like Zacian V's support cast. As a secret rare in Battle Styles, it is a gold-bordered chase slot for a humble utility Trainer, and Ryo Ueda's name on it adds collector appeal. The modelled guide sits at $6.49, down 1% over 30 days on 74 copies traded, with 176 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $58, 8.9 times raw, but a 49% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
