# Minun #40/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Minun is the cheerful half of the Plusle and Minun cheerleading duo, a Hoenn pairing with a modest but devoted following among fans who like paired designs. A Dark Explorers common, it was filler in a set where Darkrai and the Shiny-style chase slots drew attention, so demand stays small and sentimental. The modelled guide sits at $7.19, down 6% over 30 days on 12 copies traded, with 639 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $100, 14 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
