# Garchomp #62/131 — Forbidden Light

## Summary

Garchomp is the Sinnoh pseudo-legendary that fans have loved since Platinum, and its Cynthia connection gives this Stage 2 a built-in story that suits the Forbidden Light-era Fighting lineup. Megumi Mizutani is a long-standing Pokémon illustrator, and as a plain Rare it is a mid-tier pull, valued for the Pokémon rather than scarcity. The modelled guide sits at $4.80, up 2% over 30 days on 34 copies traded, with 220 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
