TAG TEAM GX Blastoise with 270 HP and a top attack near 150 damage. Ultra-rare Blastoise variants like this occasionally turned up in constructed decks during their era, though seldom as a deck's centerpiece.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Splash Maker
You may attach up to 3 Water Energy cards from your hand to your Pokémon in any way you like. If you do, heal 50 damage from those Pokémon for each card you attached to them in this way.
Bubble Launcher-GX
Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. If this Pokémon has at least 3 extra Water Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack's cost), this attack does 150 more damage. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

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.
