# Camerupt Spirit Link #XY199 — XY Black Star Promos

## Summary

Spirit Links were the tool that made Mega Evolution playable, since the ex-to-Mega jump normally ends your turn, and a Camerupt version served the deck built around that Hoenn Fire-Ground Mega. As a Black Star promo it sits outside the main pull rates, so demand comes from Mega-era completionists rather than players. The modelled guide sits at $1.88, up 17% over 30 days on 15 copies traded, with 15 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $49, 26 times raw, but a 40% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
