Original WotC-era printing from the Team Rocket set — foundational vintage Jolteon.
The Lightning-type Eeveelution — evolves from Eevee with a Thunder Stone.
Required for any complete Jolteon master set across eras.
Collectors of the Team Rocket set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Jolteon with 50 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Lightning Flash Cost: Lightning · 20 damage

If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.

Thunder Attack Cost: Lightning + Lightning + Colorless · 30 damage

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. If tails, Dark Jolteon does 10 damage to itself.

Weakness: Fighting ×2
Retreat cost: 1

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Jolteon 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.
