# Venusaur ex #112/112 — FireRed & LeafGreen

## Summary

Venusaur ex from FireRed & LeafGreen is a Kantō starter remake pull, and that nostalgia carries it, since Venusaur has always been the quieter fan favorite next to Charizard. Energy Trans made Grass decks run smoothly in its era, and Ryo Ueda's name adds a modest draw. The modelled guide sits at $480, flat on asks over 30 days on 14 copies traded; the slab is the real edge, with CGC 10s at $2,250 and a 14% observed gem rate putting about $420 of expected profit per submission, and the slabbed population is growing 2% a month, faster than 87% of tracked cards.
