# Gengar #085/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Gengar is one of the most beloved Gen I Pokémon, and its Life Shaker ability gave a Psychic damage-shuffling engine real utility in its era. A holo rare in the base Sword & Shield set sits at the mid-tier pull level, a fan-driven buy rather than a chase slot. At an $8.77 modelled guide, down 2% over 30 days on 99 copies traded, with only 11 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.50 out of Perfect Order; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
