# Milotic #039/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Milotic has long ranked among the most admired Water Pokémon, a Hoenn favorite whose elegant reputation outweighs most of its Gen III peers. Bright Heal made it a genuine sustain option in Sword & Shield, and a holo rare slot keeps demand steady without turning it into a chase pull. At a $0.62 modelled guide, up 13% over 30 days on 86 copies traded, with 180 days of inventory on the board, 76% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.15 out of Twilight Masquerade; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
