# Tapu Koko GX #153/145 — Guardians Rising

## Summary

Tapu Koko is the Alola guardian that Sun and Moon players took to heart, and a Secret Rare GX sits in the numbered overflow past the set's main run, so pulling it was a genuine long shot. Scarcity plus lasting Lightning-type affection keeps collectors circling it. The modelled guide sits at $15, up 1% over 30 days on 18 copies traded, with 143 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $148, 9.7 times raw, but a 47% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
