# Lightning Energy #004/008 — Mega Evolution Energy

## Summary

Lightning Energy from a basic Energy product is the definition of bulk: a card played by the dozen and pulled without a flicker of excitement. Demand comes from builders filling Pikachu and Raichu decks and from completionists chasing a full Energy run, which keeps it useful but never scarce. At a $0.14 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 329 copies traded, with 1,114 days of inventory sitting on the board, 7% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of XY trainer Kit (Pikachu Libre); no PSA population is on file.
