# Victini #171/086 — Black Bolt

## Summary

Victini carries real weight as the Unova mythical, the Victory Pokémon that opened the Gen V dex, and Black Bolt is a deliberate return to that region. The Black White Rare tier sits among the set's top chase slots, which is why collectors who grew up on Black and White want it. At a $616 modelled guide, down 2% over 30 days on 28 copies traded, with 67 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Surging Sparks; the slab is the real edge, with CGC 10s at $1,132 and a 52% observed gem rate putting about $37 of expected profit per submission.
