# Dustox ex #86/92 — Legend Maker

## Summary

Dustox ex has a modest fan following as a Hoenn bug that rarely gets spotlight, though its Poke-Body shutting out other Pokémon-ex was a genuinely clever design for an era crowded with them. Mitsuhiro Arita's name adds some pull, while its rarity places it as a solid mid-tier hit in Legend Maker. The modelled guide sits at $120 with 10 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $5,000 and a 11% observed gem rate putting about $420 of expected profit per submission.
