# Aurorus #28/131 — Forbidden Light

## Summary

Aurorus is a Kalos fossil Pokémon with a modest but loyal following, mostly among collectors who like the Amaura line and its Rock-Ice oddity. As a Stage 2 Rare in Forbidden Light it was a mid-tier pull, playable but never a format pillar, so demand stays quiet. The modelled guide sits at $8.43, down 3% over 30 days on 12 copies traded, with 194 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $170, 20 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
