07Why Collectors Want It

A video-game tie-in promo (the Pokémon Rumble WiiWare set) — a niche, story-rich corner of the hobby.
Distinctive Rumble art style sets it apart from every standard Venusaur.
Surprisingly scarce in true gem-mint condition, which is why PSA 10 prices spike.
A relatively affordable raw card with major upside if it grades well.
A conversation-piece card for serious Venusaur completists.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None (collectible)

A promo from a game tie-in set, not a tournament card. Its appeal is collectible and the dramatic raw-vs-graded value gap.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Giga Drain Cost: Grass + Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 50 damage

Remove from Venusaur the number of damage counters equal to the damage you did to the Defending Pokémon.

Weakness: Fire ×2
Retreat cost: 4

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Genuinely scarce in PSA 10 — hence the ~$7,600 sale — despite affordable raw copies.

Print and surface quality make high grades tough; the raw-to-gem spread is one of the widest in the Venusaur catalog.

Other graders: PSA leads; CGC and BGS also grade Rumble promos.
