# Quaquaval ex #235/193 — Paldea Evolved

## Summary

Quaquaval is the Paldea starter's final form, and starter evolutions tend to earn lasting affection, especially for a dancer with a flair for showmanship. This ex pairs a cheap gusting attack with a heavy hitter, and as an Ultra Rare in a big set it sits well above ordinary chase pulls. The modelled guide sits at $2.05, down 1% over 30 days on 101 copies traded, with 46 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $38, 18 times raw, but a 45% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
