# Manaphy #041/172 — Brilliant Stars

## Summary

Manaphy is a mythical Pokémon with a devoted following that dates to the Pokémon Ranger movie, and Water collectors pursue it steadily. Wave Veil made it a familiar bench-protection tool in Standard, while its plain Rare slot kept it an easy mid-tier pull. The modelled guide sits at $0.40, up 14% over 30 days on 80 copies traded, with 1,515 days of inventory sitting on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
