# Pikachu VMAX #188/185 — Vivid Voltage

## Summary

Pikachu VMAX is the rare case where the series mascot sits in a Secret Rare slot, and Vivid Voltage was built around that chase, so demand comes from fans and set completers alike. aky CG Works is a respected name among collectors, and this pull sat far above anything else in its set. The modelled guide sits at $168, down 1% over 30 days on 57 copies traded, with 163 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $400, 2.4 times raw, but a 38% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
