# Toxapex #052/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Toxapex is a Gen VII Alola Pokémon with a defensive reputation among Pokémon fans, and its Recover attack suits the reputation well. As a Darkness Ablaze uncommon it was never a chase pull, so interest mostly comes from Water-type collectors and Masakazu Fukuda completists. A $0.10 modelled guide, up 43% over 30 days on 18 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,165 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
