# Pikachu & Zekrom GX #162/181 — Team Up

## Summary

Pikachu & Zekrom GX pairs the franchise's most beloved mascot with Unova's thunder dragon, and it was a real tournament threat in Sun & Moon, helped by Full Blitz accelerating energy and Tag Bolt GX threatening the bench. As a TAG TEAM ultra rare, it sat firmly in Team Up's chase tier. The modelled guide sits at $180 with 15 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $960 and a 52% observed gem rate putting about $250 of expected profit per submission, and the slabbed population has not grown in 30 days, slower than 100% of tracked cards.
