# Gouging Fire ex #204/162 — Temporal Forces

## Summary

Gouging Fire is a Paradox Pokémon with a loyal following among fans of Paradox Pokémon and Fire types, and its ex printing gave it a real competitive footing in Temporal Forces. As a special illustration rare it sat deep in the chase tier, and Teeziro's name on it adds draw. At a $49 modelled guide, down 4% over 30 days on 72 copies traded, with 46 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.66 out of SVP Black Star Promos; a CGC 10 brings $171, 3.5 times raw, but a 51% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
