07Why Collectors Want It

  • The non-holo Rare variant of Clefable in 1999's Jungle, paired with the #1 holo print of the same Pokémon.
  • Market sits around $15; the 1st Edition Rare trades meaningfully above the Unlimited print and pairs naturally with the #1 holo.
  • Jungle non-holo centering and edge wear are the usual downgrades; clean copies grade into the hundreds.
  • A natural pickup for any complete WotC-era Clefable-line or Jungle master-set run.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Clefable with 70 HP; top attack around — damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Metronome Cost: Colorless

Choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon's attacks. Metronome copies that attack except for its Energy costs and anything else required in order to use that attack, such as discarding Energy cards. (No matter what type the Defending Pokémon is, Clefable's type is still Colorless.)

Minimize Cost: Colorless + Colorless

All damage done by attacks to Clefable during your opponent's next turn is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Clefable PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
