# Malamar EX #115/119 — Phantom Forces

## Summary

Malamar's Hyper Hypnosis was a real ability in the XY era, and Malamar has long held a devoted following as the quirky Dark/Psychic squid from Kalos. As an Ultra Rare EX in Phantom Forces, it sat in the chase tier, and Ryo Ueda's name adds a collector's footnote. The modelled guide sits at $19 with 24 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $4,165 and a 7% observed gem rate putting about $120 of expected profit per submission.
