# Volcanion ex #031/159 — Journey Together

## Summary

Volcanion is a Mythical from Kalos with a modest but loyal following, and the Fire and Water pairing keeps it on many fans' wish lists. As a double rare, it sat in the ordinary ex slot of Journey Together, a solid pull rather than a chase, so demand comes from players and Volcanion collectors. The modelled guide sits at $0.59, up 18% over 30 days on 336 copies traded, with only 21 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $4.25, 7.2 times raw, but a 34% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade, and the slabbed population is growing 5% a month, faster than 95% of tracked cards.
