# Vikavolt V #180/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Vikavolt V is a Galar-era Basic V with a real tournament footprint, since its Item-lock attack made it a disruptive Lightning option in Darkness Ablaze-era lists. Alolan Gen VII bugs draw a quieter fanbase, so as an Ultra Rare it appeals more to players than to hunters of Ayaka Yoshida's work. The modelled guide sits at $1.65, down 6% over 30 days on 61 copies traded, with 153 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $50, 30 times raw, but a 67% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade, and the slabbed population has not grown in 30 days, slower than 87% of tracked cards.
