# Shiftry GX #169/168 — Celestial Storm

## Summary

Shiftry has a modest but loyal following from Hoenn, and a Secret Rare slot in Celestial Storm means a gold-tier chase most pulled packs never touched. Its GX is a deck-removal gimmick that never became a real tournament pillar, so scarcity, not play, carries the appeal. The modelled guide sits at $18, flat over 30 days on 4 copies traded, with 91 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $300 and a 50% observed gem rate putting about $24 of expected profit per submission.
