# Chi-Yu ex #040/193 — Paldea Evolved

## Summary

Chi-Yu ex belongs to Paldea's Treasures of Ruin, and the Fire-typed one earned real tournament attention for how quickly Flame Surge loaded Energy onto a bench. As a Double Rare it was a standard ex pull, so demand rests on play value and 5ban Graphics' steady, familiar house style. The modelled guide sits at $0.94, up 18% over 30 days on 96 copies traded, with only 29 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $32, 34 times raw, but a 30% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
