07Why Collectors Want It

From Skyridge (2003), the last and scarcest WotC e-Card set.
The top Nidoqueen card: realized raw around $153, with PSA 10s near $2,100 (PriceCharting, May 2026).
Skyridge's tight print run makes its holos genuinely scarce in high grade.
e-Reader strips confirm the authentic e-Card-era print.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Nidoqueen with 110 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Evolution Helper

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Nidoqueen is on your Bench, you may search your deck for a card that evolves from your Active Pokémon and attach it to your Active Pokémon. (This counts as evolving that Pokémon.) Shuffle your deck afterward.

Double Claw Cost: Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 30+ damage

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads

Weakness: Psychic ×2
Retreat cost: 3

10Grading and Population

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

Skyridge cards are famously hard to grade gem-mint; PSA 10 populations are low and command large premiums over raw.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
