Collectors of the Hidden Legends set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Gloom with 70 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Cling Cost: Grass + Colorless · 20 damage

After your attack, remove from Gloom the number of damage counters equal to the damage you did to the Defending Pokémon. If Gloom has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.

Double Razor Leaf Cost: Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 40× damage

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads.

Weakness: Fire ×2
Retreat cost: 1

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.
