Stage 2 ex Shiftry with 140 HP; top attack around 60 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Skill Hack
Look at your opponent's hand and choose a Basic Pokémon or Evolution card you find there. Choose 1 of that Pokémon's attacks. Skill Hack copies that attack except for its Energy cost. (You must still do anything else required for that attack.) (No matter what type that Pokémon is, Shiftry ex's type is still Darkness.) Shiftry ex performs that attack.
Dirge
Does 60 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has the same name as the Defending Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

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.
