# Malamar EX #58/119 — Phantom Forces

## Summary

Malamar EX is a Kalos-born Darkness Pokémon with a modest but loyal following, mostly among players who liked the Inkay line's upside-down gimmick. In Phantom Forces it was an Ultra Rare pull, and the Sleep-on-attach ability made it a real, playable tournament-era card. The modelled guide sits at $3.19, up 15% over 30 days on 18 copies traded, with 70 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $150, 47 times raw, but a 14% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
