08Competitive Playability

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

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Psychic Shift

Once during your turn, if Xatu is on your Bench, you may choose 1 Special Condition from 1 of your Active Pokémon and remove that Special Condition. Then, 1 of the Defending Pokémon is now affected by that Special Condition that you chose.

Energy Singe Cost: Psychic + Colorless

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Weakness: Psychic +10
Resistance: Fighting -20
Retreat cost: 1

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.
