# Cobalion GX #189/181 — Team Up

## Summary

Cobalion is the leader of the Swords of Justice, a Unova legend with a loyal following, and 5ban Graphics is a studio many collectors seek out for its Pokémon artwork. As a Secret Rare in Team Up, it sits above the regular chase slots, and its Ability made it a handy tech against status-heavy decks. The modelled guide sits at $19 with 2 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $275 and a 48% observed gem rate putting about $15 of expected profit per submission.
