# Yveltal EX #XY150 — XY Black Star Promos

## Summary

Yveltal EX was the face of the Kalos legendaries and a real tournament contender in the XY era, with Evil Ball rewarding energy-heavy boards. As a promo, it sits outside any booster chase, so demand comes from Darkness fans, Yveltal completists, and Eske Yoshinob's loyal following. At a $14 modelled guide, with 16 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.53 out of Perfect Order; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $2,025 and a 16% observed gem rate putting about $180 of expected profit per submission.
