# Scizor #84/90 — Undaunted

## Summary

Scizor is a Johto-born Metal favorite with a loyal following, and Prime was the HGSS-era rare treatment, a mid-tier pull in Undaunted rather than a chase slot. Its Red Armor Poke-Body was a real deterrent against Special Energy decks, which gave it tournament relevance beyond a nostalgic binder slot. The modelled guide sits at $171, up 32% over 30 days on 27 copies traded, with 105 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $21,000 and a 3% observed gem rate putting about $490 of expected profit per submission.
