08Competitive Playability

09Card Moves and Abilities

Tandem Shock Cost: Lightning + Lightning + Colorless · 80+ damage

If this Pokémon was on the Bench and became your Active Pokémon this turn, this attack does 80 more damage, and your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

Lightning Ride-GX Cost: Lightning + Lightning + Colorless · 150+ damage

Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. If this Pokémon has at least 2 extra Lightning Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack's cost), this attack does 100 more damage. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

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.
