08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Basic ex Deoxys with 110 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: Form Change
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for another Deoxys ex and switch it with Deoxys ex. (Any cards attached to Deoxys ex, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokémon.) If you do, put Deoxys ex on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward. You can't use more than 1 Form Change Poké-Power each turn.
Psyburst
You may discard 2 Energy attached to Deoxys ex. If you do, this attack does 50 damage plus 20 more damage for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon.

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.
