# Honchkrow V #088/172 — Brilliant Stars

## Summary

Honchkrow V is a Sinnoh-born Darkness bird with a devoted following, the boss-of-the-flock persona suiting an Ability built around stacking Tools. As a Holo Rare V it was a mid-tier pull rather than a chase slot, so demand comes from fans and Darkness collectors. The modelled guide sits at $0.90, up 6% over 30 days on 37 copies traded, with 384 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $41, 45 times raw, but a 37% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
