  • Required for any complete Zekrom master set across eras.
  • Collectors of the SM Black Star Promos set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: Situational

TAG TEAM GX Zekrom with 240 HP and a top attack near 200 damage. Ultra-rare Zekrom variants like this occasionally turned up in constructed decks during their era, though seldom as a deck's centerpiece.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Full Blitz Cost: Lightning + Lightning + Lightning · 150 damage

Search your deck for up to 3 Lightning Energy cards and attach them to 1 of your Pokemon. Then, shuffle your deck.

Tag Bolt-GX Cost: Lightning + Lightning + Lightning · 200 damage

If this Pokemon has at least 3 extra Lightning Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack's cost), this attack does 170 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokemon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokemon.) (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
