07Why Collectors Want It

One of Skyridge's 'Crystal' secret rares (2003), with the era's distinctive etched crystal-foil treatment.
Secret-numbered #147/144 — beyond the set total, alongside Skyridge's Crystal Charizard and Crystal Ho-Oh.
Crystal cards are a definitive e-Card-era chase across the hobby.
Verified at ~$387 raw, PSA 10 ~$10,519 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — about a 27x gem-mint jump.
Crystal foil shows hairlines easily; gem-mint copies are scarce.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Crobat with 80 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Crystal Type

Whenever you attach a Grass, Fire, or Psychic basic Energy card from your hand to Crobat, Crobat's type (color) becomes the same as that type of Energy until the end of the turn.

Poison Flame Cost: Grass + Fire + Colorless · 20 damage

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Burned and Poisoned.

Squared Attack Cost: Grass + Psychic + Psychic · 20× damage

Flip 4 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads.

Weakness: Psychic ×2
Retreat cost: 0

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$10,519 against ~$387 raw — roughly 27x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Etched crystal foil hairlines and tight e-Card centering are the usual PSA 10 blockers; gem mints are uncommon.

Other graders: PSA dominates resale on vintage crystals; BGS and CGC copies trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
