06Current Market Value

07Why Collectors Want It

• Released in 2016's Evolutions, the XY-era's Base-Set-themed throwback set that revisited the original 151 with modernized art and EX-mechanics.
• The Mega Pidgeot-EX print is a Mega-tier chase card — a deliberate retro-foil callback to Base Set's holo aesthetic.
• Holo market sits around $15; the Evolutions Mega cards downgrade on centering and edge wear, with PSA 10 copies trading meaningfully above raw.
• A natural pickup for collectors building the Evolutions throwback set or the modern Pidgeot-line chase line.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: Situational

MEGA Evolution Pidgeot with 220 HP and a top attack near 130 damage. Ultra-rare Pidgeot variants like this occasionally turned up in constructed decks during their era, though seldom as a deck's centerpiece.

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.
