# Darkrai ◇ #77/156 — Ultra Prism

## Summary

Darkrai ◇ is a Prism Star, a rule that limits you to one copy and sends it out of play for good once knocked out, which marks it as a deliberate chase pull of its set. Darkrai is a perennial Gen IV favorite, and Naoki Saito is a long-serving illustrator. The modelled guide sits at $62 with 87 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $6,775 and a 17% observed gem rate putting about $910 of expected profit per submission, and the slabbed population is growing 2% a month, faster than 87% of tracked cards.
