# Crobat V #182/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Crobat V was a staple of Sword & Shield competitive play, its Dark Asset draw engine refilling a hand on the spot and anchoring Darkness lists of its day. A Johto fan favorite sitting in the Ultra Rare tier, it pulls both players and nostalgic Gen II collectors. The modelled guide sits at $3.16, up 5% over 30 days on 96 copies traded, with 46 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $97, 31 times raw, but a 46% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
