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

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Lanturn with 80 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Energy Grounding

Once during your opponent's turn, when any of your Pokémon is Knocked Out by your opponent's attacks, you may use this power. Choose a basic Energy card discarded from the Knocked Out Pokémon and attach it to Lanturn. You can't use more than 1 Energy Grounding Poké-Power each turn.

Lightning Strike Cost: Lightning + Lightning + Colorless · 50 damage

You may discard all Lightning Energy attached to Lanturn. If you do, this attack's base damage is 90 instead of 50.

Weakness: Fighting ×2
Retreat cost: 2

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.
