# Tyranitar GX #203/214 — Lost Thunder

## Summary

Tyranitar has been a Gen II fan favorite since Crystal, a pseudo-legendary with a loyal following, and the GX gave it a real job in Lost Thunder's Lost Zone engine. At Ultra Rare, 5ban Graphics' print sits well up the chase ladder, and that number points to a secret rare slot. The modelled guide sits at $43, up 7% over 30 days on 23 copies traded, with 90 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $694 and a 36% observed gem rate putting about $140 of expected profit per submission.
