# Xatu #29/107 — Deoxys

## Summary

Xatu is a Johto favorite with a loyal following, and Yuka Morii is among the best-liked illustrators of the early EX years, which gives this Rare more shelf appeal than its slot suggests. Mirror Coat was a clever, situational Poke-Body, but it stayed a curiosity rather than a deck staple. The modelled guide sits at $12 with 10 copies traded in 30 days; a CGC 10 brings $40, 3.3 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
