# Ultra Ball #68/73 — Shining Legends

## Summary

Ultra Ball was the Pokémon search engine of the Sun & Moon years, a four-of in countless decks because it could fetch any Pokémon at the cost of two cards. Printed many times, it stays a player's staple, and Ryo Ueda's version in this small set draws only modest collector interest. A $0.29 modelled guide with 13 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.16 out of Ascended Heroes.
