Analyst thesis. Dark Dragonite (Team Rocket, Unlimited holo) rose a steady +64% in US NM to $230.17 with a 2% drawdown and 55 sales, at its 52-week high without a single-week jump (score 80, Top pick).
Risk: Its Cardmarket match failed our sanity check (the EU price was far above US NM, likely mixing in 1st Edition copies), so Europe cannot confirm the trend; US NM is +29% in 3 months and may pause like the liquid basket did.
