07Why Collectors Want It

  • Aquapolis is a scarce e-Card-era set with sought-after holo and reverse-holo prints.
  • The reverse-holo Gloom outpaces the standard holo in value.
  • A target for Aquapolis and e-Card-era collectors.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Gloom with 70 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Enervating Pollen

As long as Gloom is in play, Resistance on each player's Active Pokémon only reduces damage by 10.

Sleep Sap Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 20 damage

Both the Defending Pokémon and Gloom are now Asleep (after doing damage).

10Grading and Population

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

Aquapolis crosshatch holos scratch readily; clean graded copies are scarce.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
