# Garchomp #120/116 — Plasma Freeze

## Summary

Garchomp is a Sinnoh pseudo-legendary and one of the most beloved Dragons in the franchise, and Special Energy removal gave this Stage 2 a real niche in Black & White-era play. As a Secret Rare in Plasma Freeze, it sat in the set's deep chase tier, which keeps demand steady. The modelled guide sits at $900 with 4 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $7,000 and a 6% observed gem rate putting about $430 of expected profit per submission.
