# Mega Heracross ex #004/094 — Phantasmal Flames

## Summary

Heracross has long been a cult favorite, a Gen II Bug-type with real Pokédex fandom and a habit of being underserved in cards. As a Double rare in this set it's a solid mid-tier pull, and 5ban Graphics' work keeps ex collectors looking, while its Basic-ex bulk gives players a reason too. The modelled guide sits at $0.53, down 15% over 30 days on 1,193 copies traded, with 70 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $31, 58 times raw, but a 42% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade, and the slabbed population is growing 5% a month, faster than 96% of tracked cards.
