# Vanilluxe #047/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Vanilluxe is a Unova Ice cream cone Pokémon whose Gen V following is small but devoted, and a Stage 2 Water attacker with a paralysis Ability was a real deckbuilding idea in the Sword & Shield era. As a plain Rare in Darkness Ablaze, it sits mid-tier, a fan pick rather than a chase pull. A $0.26 modelled guide, up 4% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, says bulk, with 760 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $31, 120 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
