09Card Moves and Abilities

Psywave Cost: Psychic · 10× damage

Does 10 damage times the number of Energy cards attached to the Defending Pokémon.

Devolution Beam Cost: Psychic + Psychic

Choose an evolved Pokémon (your own or your opponent's). Return the highest Stage Evolution card on that Pokémon to its player's hand. That Pokémon is no longer Asleep, Confused, Paralyzed, or Poisoned, or anything else that might be the result of an attack (just as if you had evolved it).

Retreat cost: 1

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Mew PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
