08Competitive Playability

Tier: Situational

TAG TEAM GX Braixen with 270 HP and a top attack near 180 damage. Ultra-rare Braixen variants like this occasionally turned up in constructed decks during their era, though seldom as a deck's centerpiece.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Brilliant Flare Cost: Fire + Fire + Fire + Colorless · 180 damage

You may search your deck for up to 3 cards and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.

Crimson Flame Pillar-GX Cost: Fire

Attach 5 basic Energy cards from your discard pile to your Pokémon in any way you like. If this Pokémon has at least 1 extra Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack's cost), your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Burned and Confused. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

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.
