# Milotic ex #96/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Milotic ex is the Hoenn beauty-queen Pokémon in its original ex form, and Milotic has kept a devoted following since Gen III for its elegance and its Feebas backstory. The Poke-BODY shut off Technical Machines, a niche trick that makes it more curiosity than staple. At an $800 modelled guide, with 7 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.65 out of Surging Sparks; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $49,999 and a 3% observed gem rate putting about $930 of expected profit per submission.
