# Rhyperior V #181/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Rhyperior V carries a loyal Sinnoh fanbase, and as a Fighting Basic V with a heavy attack it gave players a solid early-V option against the Lightning decks of its day. Ultra Rare placed it among the set's better pulls, a real find without being the chase slot. The modelled guide sits at $2.82, up 8% over 30 days on 69 copies traded, with 203 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $41, 14 times raw, but a 46% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
