07Why Collectors Want It

Early-2000s Neo Revelation printing with vintage collector appeal.
Suicune — Pokemon TCG catalog (Pokedex #245).
Required for any complete Suicune master set across eras.
Collectors of the Neo Revelation set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Suicune with 60 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Legendary Body

As long as Suicune is your Active Pokémon, Suicune and Energy cards attached to it aren't affected by effects from Trainer cards other than Stadium cards. As long as this Power is active, discard any Trainer cards attached to Suicune. (This power works even if Suicune is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.)

Crystal Wave Cost: Water + Water + Water · 30+ damage

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage. If tails, this attack does 30 damage and, if your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, he or she chooses 1 of them and switches it with the Defending Pokémon. (Do the damage before switching the Pokémon.)

Weakness: Lightning ×2
Retreat cost: 0

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Suicune 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.
