# Skeledirge #038/198 — Scarlet & Violet

## Summary

Skeledirge is the Gen 9 starter that won over fans with its singing ghost-flame gimmick, and a Stage 2 Fire attacker that fuels itself with energy recovery gave it a real job in early Scarlet & Violet decks. As a plain Rare in the base set, it sits mid-tier, with nagimiso's name adding quiet appeal. A $0.20 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 5 copies traded, says bulk, with 2,045 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.18 out of Surging Sparks.
