Basic Absol with 70 HP; top attack around 10 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

Quick Attack Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 10+ damage

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 10 more damage.

Feint Attack Cost: Darkness + Darkness + Colorless

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies or any other effects on that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Weakness: Fighting ×2
Retreat cost: 1

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern ultra/secret rare; PSA 10 populations are moderate and grading is common for higher-value pulls.

Holo scratching and centering are the usual downgrade culprits; graded gem-mint copies trade above raw.

Other graders: CGC and BGS both grade modern ultra-rares; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
