09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Distortion

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Crobat ex is your Active Pokémon, you may put 1 damage counter on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This power can't be used if Crobat ex is affected by a Special Condition.

Cross Attack Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 20× damage

Flip 4 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads. If you get 2 or more heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused.

Pester Cost: Grass + Grass + Colorless · 60+ damage

If the Defending Pokémon is affected by a Special Condition, this attack does 60 damage plus 40 more damage.

Weakness: Lightning ×2
Resistance: Fighting -30
Retreat cost: 0

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.
