# Shaymin #185/182 — Destined Rivals

## Summary

Shaymin is a Sinnoh mythical that Gen IV fans have loved since Platinum, and its Flower Curtain ability shielded non-rule-box Benched Pokémon, which made it a real tech slot. As an Illustration Rare it's a chase-tier pull, and Kitazawa's name adds collector pull. At a $9.00 sold median, down 25% over 30 days on 618 copies traded, with only 5 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.09 out of Perfect Order; a PSA 10 brings $113, 13 times raw, but a 30% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
