08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Basic Entei with 80 HP; top attack around 60 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: Howl
When you play Entei from your hand, you may discard the top 5 cards of your deck. (If you have fewer cards in your deck than that, discard all of them.) If any of those are Fire Energy cards, attach them to any of your Fire Pokémon of your choice. Using this power ends your turn.
Searing Flames
Discard 2 Fire Energy cards attached to Entei or this attack does nothing.

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