# Miraidon ex #081/198 — Scarlet & Violet

## Summary

Miraidon ex was the Lightning engine of the Scarlet & Violet launch, its Tandem Unit ability fueling Bench-heavy decks that fed on Electric Generator and fast setup. As a Double Rare in the base set it was a modest pull but a real staple, and the Paradox cover mascot keeps fans interested. At a $0.84 modelled guide, up 24% over 30 days on 102 copies traded, with 44 days of inventory on the board, 37% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.53 out of Ascended Heroes; a PSA 10 brings $37, 43 times raw, but a 39% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
