# Venusaur & Snivy GX #249/236 — Cosmic Eclipse

## Summary

Venusaur & Snivy GX is a TAG TEAM from the Cosmic Eclipse run, pairing a Kanto starter with Unova's grass snake, two favorites with different fanbases. Shining Vine let it pull Benched Pokémon into the Active spot, and as a Secret Rare it sat in the set's top chase tier, which keeps demand steady. The modelled guide sits at $79 with 11 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $320 and a 51% observed gem rate putting about $21 of expected profit per submission, and the slabbed population has not grown in 30 days, slower than 86% of tracked cards.
