# Solgaleo GX #173/156 — Ultra Prism

## Summary

Solgaleo GX is the Alola cover legend, and the Metal-type lion keeps a devoted following from the Sun and Moon generation. As a Secret Rare, it sat beyond the numbered set as a true chase slot, and its Ultra Road ability and big attack gave it real standing in competitive play. The modelled guide sits at $62 with 4 copies traded in 30 days; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $500 and a 36% observed gem rate putting about $24 of expected profit per submission.
