# Zebstrika #42/114 — Black & White

## Summary

Zebstrika is an uncommon from the very first Unova set, a mid-tier pull that filled out the Lightning slot rather than anchoring any chase. Its draw is Gen V nostalgia and Kouki Saitou's name on the credit line, while its self-damaging Wild Charge never made it a tournament staple. A $0.57 modelled guide, up 6% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, says bulk, with 343 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.11 out of Surging Sparks.
