# Gouging Fire ex #188/162 — Temporal Forces

## Summary

Gouging Fire is a Paradox Pokémon tied to Entei, and that fan-favorite Johto beast ancestry gives it a following before any card exists. As an Ultra Rare ex, it sits in the chase tier of Temporal Forces, with a 260-damage attack that made it a real contender in decks. At a $3.03 modelled guide, up 9% over 30 days on 140 copies traded, with only 26 days of inventory on the board, 79% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.63 out of Temporal Forces; a CGC 10 brings $42, 14 times raw, but a 51% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
