# Skarmory ex #98/108 — Power Keepers

## Summary

Skarmory ex is a Johto Steel bird with a loyal following, and its Metal Gravity Poké-Body made retreating costly, a disruption tool in a slower, bulkier EX-era format. A Rare ex in Power Keepers was a solid mid-tier pull, so demand leans toward Ryo Ueda fans and Metal-type collectors. The modelled guide sits at $89 with 22 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $11,400 and a 8% observed gem rate putting about $550 of expected profit per submission.
