# Genesect #008/094 — Phantasmal Flames

## Summary

Genesect is a Mythical Gen V favorite, the Bug and Steel Paleozoic weapon, and a plain Rare in the Mega era is a mid-tier pull rather than a chase slot. Mitsuhiro Arita, among the earliest names in Pokémon card illustration, gives it a pedigree that supports steady collector interest. The modelled guide sits at $0.16, down 11% over 30 days on 70 copies traded, with 1,358 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
