# Boost Energy #98/115 — Unseen Forces

## Summary

Boost Energy was a Special Energy built for fast Stage 2 setups, and it earned its slot in the EX era by powering up big evolved attackers in a single turn. As an uncommon utility piece it was never a chase pull, so demand is steady, mostly from players and completists. A $0.93 modelled guide with 2 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
