# Flygon #4/97 — Dragon

## Summary

Flygon from EX Dragon was a holo rare that carried a real engine in Energy Shower, and Mitsuhiro Arita, the original Base Set Charizard artist, is a name that lifts any card he touches. Hoenn's desert dragon keeps a loyal fan base, which suits a set built around dragons. At a $73 modelled guide, down 91% on asks over 7 days on 12 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $3.50 out of Phantasmal Flames; a ACE 10 brings $1,456, 20 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
