07Why Collectors Want It

Bronzong — Pokemon TCG catalog (Pokedex #437).
Required for any complete Bronzong master set across eras.
Collectors of the Stormfront set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Bronzong with 90 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Cycler

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may choose a card from your hand and put it on top of your deck. Then, search your deck for up to 2 basic Energy cards, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Bronzong is affected by a Special Condition.

Strange Spin Cost: Psychic + Colorless · 20+ damage

If you have the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent, this attack does 20 damage plus 40 more damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Confused.

Heavy Potential Cost: Psychic + Colorless + Colorless

Put a number of damage counters on each of your opponent's Pokémon equal to the number of Colorless Energy in that Pokémon's Retreat Cost (after applying effects to the Retreat Cost).

Weakness: Psychic +20
Resistance: Fire -20
Retreat cost: 3

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.
