07Why Collectors Want It

  • A Gold Star (★): the EX era's rarest pull rate, around one per booster box, with alternate shiny-style art.
  • Completes the famous TRR Hoenn-starter Gold Star trio (Treecko ★ / Torchic ★ / Mudkip ★).
  • Secret-numbered #109/109 — the final card of Team Rocket Returns.
  • Verified at ~$2,225 raw, PSA 10 ~$32,790 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — about a 15x gem-mint jump.
  • A low high-grade population is what drives the steep PSA 10 premium.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Treecko with 70 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Tackle Cost: Colorless · 10 damage

Spring Back Cost: Grass + Grass · 20+ damage

If your opponent has only 1 Prize card left, this attack does 20 damage plus 50 more damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$32,790 against ~$2,225 raw — roughly 15x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Gold-star foil hairlines and tight TRR centering are the usual PSA 10 blockers; clean survivors are scarce.

Other graders: PSA 10 sets the market on Gold Stars; BGS and CGC examples trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
