# Venusaur EX #141/146 — XY

## Summary

Venusaur EX is the Kanto starter's flagship printing of the XY launch, and Venusaur has never lacked fans as the final form of the original Grass starter. The Ultra Rare tier made it a real chase pull in the base set, and Ryo Ueda's name adds a small draw for illustrator collectors. The modelled guide sits at $125 with 29 copies traded in 30 days; a PSA 10 guides at $3,545, 28 times raw, but a 2% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade, and the slabbed population is growing 3% a month, faster than 86% of tracked cards.
