# Sandaconda V #252/264 — Fusion Strike

## Summary

Sandaconda V is a Galar-born Ground snake with a modest fanbase, so demand here leans on the Ultra Rare slot and Narumi Sato's name rather than Pokémon appeal. In Fusion Strike's crowded V lineup it was a mid-tier pull, sturdy and playable but never the set's chase. The modelled guide sits at $4.47, down 9% over 30 days on 150 copies traded, with 25 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $93, 21 times raw, but a 49% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
