# Hop's Zacian ex #176/159 — Journey Together

## Summary

Hop's Zacian ex pairs a Sword and Shield cover legend with Hop's rivalry-driven story, and Zacian remains a fan favorite among Galar-era Pokémon. In Journey Together, an Ultra Rare ex is a prime chase slot, with aky CG Works' 3D-rendered style setting the art apart from hand-painted pulls. The modelled guide sits at $1.51, down 19% over 30 days on 391 copies traded, with only 12 days of inventory on the board; a ACE 10 brings $41, 27 times raw, but a 68% gem rate against $49 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
