# Blaine's Moltres #1/132 — Gym Heroes

## Summary

Blaine's Moltres opens a Gym Heroes holo run with Ken Sugimori's name on it, the original Pokémon designer, and Moltres has stayed a Kanto legendary-bird favorite since Red and Blue. The punishing five-Fire attack kept it out of serious tournament play, so demand is purely nostalgic. The modelled guide sits at $136, down 3% over 30 days on 32 copies traded, with 61 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, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
