# Emboar #33/236 — Cosmic Eclipse

## Summary

Emboar is the Unova Fire starter's final form, and Tepig's line holds a warm place with Black and White-generation fans. The Explosive Fire Dance Ability gave it real energy-acceleration use in Fire decks, while a plain Rare slot in a big set keeps it a modest, player-driven pull. A $0.40 modelled guide, down 2% over 30 days on 15 copies traded, says bulk, with 331 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $32, 81 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
