Collectors of the Secret Wonders set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Ho-Oh with 90 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Phoenix Turn

Once during your opponent's turn, if Ho-Oh would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack, you may flip a coin. If heads, Ho-Oh isn't discarded. Instead, remove all damage counter, Special Conditions, and other effects from Ho-Oh. Then, discard all cards attached to Ho-Oh (except for Energy cards). This counts as Ho-Oh being Knocked Out and your opponent takes a Prize card.

Rainbow Wing Cost: Colorless + Colorless + Colorless + Colorless · 20× damage

This attack does 20 damage times the number of different types of basic Energy cards attached to Ho-Oh.

Weakness: Water ×2
Resistance: Fighting -20
Retreat cost: 2

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.
