# Armarouge #044/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Armarouge is a Paldea starter-adjacent favorite, the armored Fire half of the Charcadet split, and its Scorching Armor Burn trap gave it a real niche in Scarlet & Violet's early metagame. As an Uncommon in Obsidian Flames it sits mid-tier, and Gunjima's name draws a modest following. A $0.16 modelled guide, down 30% over 30 days on 45 copies traded, says bulk, with 2,930 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.15 out of Surging Sparks.
