# Skiploom #097/091 — Paldean Fates

## Summary

Skiploom is a middle-stage Johto Grass type that rarely gets the spotlight, which makes a shiny version a quiet novelty rather than a chase. In Paldean Fates a Shiny rare is a mid-tier pull, and Mizue's name draws illustration-minded collectors. The modelled guide sits at $2.75, down 7% over 30 days on 71 copies traded, with 41 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $121, 44 times raw, but a 53% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
