# Miraidon ex #227/198 — Scarlet & Violet

## Summary

Miraidon ex anchored Lightning decks in its format, and Tandem Unit's bench-filling is why it earned that spot. As the cover Pokémon of Violet, Miraidon draws steady fan loyalty, and as an Ultra Rare it was a genuine chase pull inside the base set. At a $2.39 modelled guide, up 30% over 30 days on 194 copies traded, with 21 days of inventory on the board, 74% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.63 out of Ascended Heroes; a CGC 10 brings $35, 15 times raw, but a 44% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
