# Tapu Koko VMAX #051/163 — Battle Styles

## Summary

Tapu Koko is the guardian of Melemele and a Gen 7 favorite, and VMAX treatments of the Island Guardians are rare enough to hold interest. A Holo Rare VMAX sat below the set's secret chases, but Tsuji's name on it gives Lightning collectors a clear reason to look. The modelled guide sits at $1.53, down 8% over 30 days on 92 copies traded, with 156 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $16, 10 times raw, but a 38% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
