# Blastoise & Piplup GX #214/236 — Cosmic Eclipse

## Summary

Blastoise and Piplup pair two starter-line fan favorites from different generations, a Kantō classic with a Sinnoh penguin people adore. Its Splash Maker healing made it a real Water deck piece in the Tag Team era, and as a 5ban Graphics Ultra Rare it was a genuine chase pull. The modelled guide sits at $103 with 23 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $690 and a 36% observed gem rate putting about $99 of expected profit per submission.
