07Why Collectors Want It

Ludicolo — Pokemon TCG catalog (Pokedex #272).
Required for any complete Ludicolo master set across eras.
Collectors of the Platinum set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Ludicolo with 120 HP; top attack around 60 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Cheerful Voice

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may use this power. If you do, your turn ends. During your next turn, each of Ludicolo's attacks does 60 more damage to the Defending Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). This power can't be used if Ludicolo is affected by a Special Condition.

Mad Dance Cost: Water + Colorless · 20 damage

The Defending Pokémon is now Confused.

Best Dance Cost: Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 60 damage

After doing damage, remove from Ludicolo the number of damage counters equal to the damage you did to the Defending Pokémon. Ludicolo can't use Best Dance during your next turn.

Weakness: Lightning +30
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.
