# Raikou #SM150 — SM Black Star Promos

## Summary

Raikou holds a deep place among Johto fans as the roaming thunder beast of Gold and Silver, and Lightning collectors keep a soft spot for it. As a Black Star promo it was never a pack pull, so demand tracks completionists and nagimiso admirers, not competitive play. The modelled guide sits at $43, up 49% over 30 days on 13 copies traded, with only 45 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $450 and a 9% observed gem rate putting about $160 of expected profit per submission.
