07Why Collectors Want It

  • Skyridge (2003), the last WotC-era set, is famously short-printed; its reverse holos are scarce.
  • The reverse foil drives the ~$70 value over the standard #62.
  • Skyridge's print difficulty keeps Gem-Mint copies scarce.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Growlithe with 50 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Flare Cost: Fire · 10 damage

Double Kick Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 20× damage

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 Gem Mint realizes ~$384 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Low Gem-Mint population — Skyridge reverse foil grades tough.

Other graders: PSA dominates the graded population.
