# Lucario GX #122/131 — Forbidden Light

## Summary

Lucario is among the most loved Gen IV designs, a Fighting type with a devoted following since Sinnoh and a standing mascot role well beyond it. As a GX at Ultra Rare, it was a real mid-set pull in Forbidden Light, and 5ban Graphics brings a distinctive, recognisable hand to the Sun & Moon era. The modelled guide sits at $36, up 5% over 30 days on 16 copies traded, with 60 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $1,130 and a 44% observed gem rate putting about $300 of expected profit per submission, and the slabbed population is growing 3% a month, faster than 86% of tracked cards.
