# Keldeo V #053/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Keldeo V is a Mythical Pokémon with a devoted Gen V following, and its Secret Sword attack made it a genuine Water deck option in the format that opened the Sword & Shield era. As a Holo Rare V, it sits in the set's solid mid-tier pull slot, with PLANETA Igarashi handling the illustration. The modelled guide sits at $1.09, down 1% over 30 days on 80 copies traded, with 144 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $42, 39 times raw, but a 56% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
