07Why Collectors Want It

  • A Tag Team GX pairing Slowpoke with Psyduck; the #218 rainbow rare is the chase print among the set's Slowpoke cards.
  • Modern hyper-rares like this draw demand from both Slowpoke fans and Tag Team GX collectors.
  • At ~$280 raw it tops every vintage Slowpoke print, including the prized Legendary Collection reverse.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

TAG TEAM GX Slowpoke with 250 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ditch and Splash Cost: Water + Water · 40× damage

Discard any number of Supporter cards from your hand. This attack does 40 damage for each card you discarded in this way.

Thrilling Times-GX Cost: Water + Water · 10+ damage

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 100 more damage. If this Pokémon has at least 6 extra Water Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack's cost), flip 10 coins instead, and this attack does 100 more damage for each heads. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 Gem Mint realizes ~$1,629 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Rainbow-rare textured foil shows whitening and edge wear easily, so Gem-Mint copies carry a strong premium.

Other graders: PSA dominates; some BGS/CGC examples exist.
