# Suicune #037/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Suicune has been a Johto favorite since Crystal made it the face of that game, and Water-type fans keep its cards moving. A Holo Rare in Darkness Ablaze sat in the mid-tier, a solid pull rather than a chase, with so-taro's name adding some collector interest. A $0.82 modelled guide, down 15% over 30 days on 8 copies traded, says bulk, with 818 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a CGC 10 brings $52, 63 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
