# Rocket's Moltres #12/132 — Gym Heroes

## Summary

Rocket's Moltres pairs one of the original three Kanto birds with the Team Rocket mystique, and both halves bring in buyers. Its Rebirth power was a clever idea that never mattered in tournaments, so demand rests on nostalgia, plus Sugimori's name as illustrator. The modelled guide sits at $228 with 37 copies traded in 30 days; 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.
