# Ampharos V #049/185 — Vivid Voltage

## Summary

Ampharos V is a Johto starter-line favorite whose fans have waited years for a modern showcase, and a Holo Rare V in Vivid Voltage sits as a solid mid-tier pull rather than a chase. Its spread damage had niche appeal in Lightning decks, but collectors mostly want it for the nostalgia. The modelled guide sits at $1.04, up 14% over 30 days on 217 copies traded, with 120 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $71, 68 times raw, but a 61% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
