# Garchomp #99/156 — Ultra Prism

## Summary

Garchomp is a Sinnoh favorite, the pseudo-legendary that anchored countless Diamond & Pearl teams and still pulls fans who grew up on it. Pairing it with Cynthia rewards the trainer who owned one in the games, and as a plain Rare it sits mid-tier, a solid pull rather than a chase. A $0.61 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 14 copies traded, says bulk, with 1,515 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
