# Hoopa #54/131 — Forbidden Light

## Summary

Hoopa is a Mythical from Kalos with a devoted following, and Hyperspace Ring's double Item search made this Basic a handy deck-thinning engine for Psychic builds of its day. As a mid-tier Uncommon from an Aya Kusube set slot, it stays cheap but liked. A $0.62 modelled guide with 6 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $25, 40 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.18 out of Ascended Heroes.
