09Card Moves and Abilities

Hyper Pump Cost: Colorless · 20+ damage

Does 20 damage plus 20 more damage for each basic Energy attached to Swampert ex but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 80 damage in this way.

Crushing Wave Cost: Water + Colorless + Colorless

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 40 damage to that Pokémon. After doing damage, flip a coin. If heads, your opponent discards an Energy card, if any, attached to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Weakness: Grass ×2
Retreat cost: 3

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern ultra/secret rare; PSA 10 populations are moderate and grading is common for higher-value pulls.

Holo scratching and centering are the usual downgrade culprits; graded gem-mint copies trade above raw.

Other graders: CGC and BGS both grade modern ultra-rares; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
