# Charizard GX #SM195 — SM Black Star Promos

## Summary

Charizard is the most reliably collectible Pokémon there is, and a GX promo is among the first Sun & Moon-era Charizards a collector could get without opening packs. Credited to Framestore, the CGI studio, it stands apart from hand-painted art, while the Fire energy acceleration kept it relevant in play. The modelled guide sits at $26, up 7% over 30 days on 129 copies traded, with 43 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $315 and a 46% observed gem rate putting about $40 of expected profit per submission.
