# Braixen #9/39 — Kalos Starter Set

## Summary

Braixen is the middle step of the Kalos fox line, a stage that fans tend to overlook next to the starter everyone picked and its Mega-adjacent final form. Sitting in a prebuilt starter product with no rarity mark, it is playable filler by design, drawing mostly Fennekin-line completionists. A $0.45 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.14 out of Chaos Rising.
