# Manectric #059/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Manectric is a Hoenn Lightning favorite with a loyal following, and it sits in Darkness Ablaze as a plain Rare, a solid mid-tier pull rather than a chase slot. Nagimiso's contribution is a small bonus for illustrator completists, while the demand mostly comes from Gen III nostalgia. A $0.28 modelled guide, up 8% over 30 days on 18 copies traded, says bulk, with 256 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 brings $50, 179 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
