07Why Collectors Want It

- Togepi — Pokemon TCG catalog (Pokedex #175).
- Promo-only distribution makes supply meaningfully tighter than mass-retail cards.
- Required for any complete Togepi master set across eras.
- Collectors of the Wizards Black Star Promos set need this card to finish it.
08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Basic Togepi with 30 HP; top attack around — damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Snivel
If the Defending Pokémon attacks Togepi during your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Togepi is reduced by 20 (before applying Weakness and Resistance). (Benching either Pokémon ends this effect.)
Mini-Metronome
Flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon's attacks. Mini-Metronome copies that attack except for its Energy cost. (You must still do anything else in order to use that attack.) (No matter what type the Defending Pokémon is, Togepi's type is still Colorless.) Togepi performs that attack.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Togepi 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.
