07Why Collectors Want It

The Alolan Ninetales-GX print from 2018's Lost Thunder, the SM-era set that ran in the heart of the GX subblock.
The Alolan regional form of Ninetales — an Ice/Fairy-type variant rather than the base Kanto Fire-type, with deeply distinct lore.
Holo market sits around $65; modern GX centering and edge wear are the usual downgrades on full-foil prints.
A natural pickup for any modern Alolan Ninetales collector building the SM-era GX line.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 GX Ninetales with 200 HP; top attack around 70 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Mysterious Guidance

When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may search your deck for up to 2 Item cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.

Snowy Wind Cost: Fairy + Colorless · 70 damage

This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Sublimation-GX Cost: Fairy + Colorless

If your opponent's Active Pokémon is an Ultra Beast, it is Knocked Out. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

Weakness: Metal ×2
Resistance: Darkness -20
Retreat cost: 2

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.
