# Miraidon ex #244/198 — Scarlet & Violet

## Summary

Miraidon ex was the Lightning engine of its format, its Tandem Unit ability filling the Bench in a single turn and powering a deck that dominated early play. As a special illustration rare of the Gen 9 box mascot, it sits in the set's top chase tier, so players and collectors both want it. At a $20 modelled guide, down 19% over 30 days on 246 copies traded, with only 13 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.62 out of Ascended Heroes; a CGC 10 brings $68, 3.4 times raw, but a 44% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
