# Hoopa #55/73 — Shining Legends

## Summary

Hoopa is a Mythical from Gen VI with a devoted following, and Scoundrel Guard gave this version a real competitive niche, since walling Pokémon-GX and EX was a genuine answer to the format's big hitters. A mid-tier Rare in Shining Legends, it draws players and Mythical completists alike, with TOKIYA credited on the artwork. At a $0.35 modelled guide, down 5% over 30 days on 68 copies traded, with only 34 days of inventory on the board, 54% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
