# Psychic Energy #005/008 — Mega Evolution Energy

## Summary

Basic Psychic Energy is a bulk common, the sort of card players grab by the handful to fuel decks and nobody chases for its own sake. Its only real draw is for set completionists filling out an energy run, which makes demand modest and steady rather than exciting. At a $0.22 modelled guide, down 45% over 30 days on 495 copies traded, with 715 days of inventory on the board, 68% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.07 out of XY trainer Kit (Latias); no PSA population is on file.
