07Why Collectors Want It

Final evolution of the Seel → Dewgong line — home to the line's vintage holos and later ex prints.
Required for any complete Dewgong master set across eras.
Collectors of the Dragon Frontiers set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Dewgong with 80 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Delta Protection

Any damage done to Dewgong by attacks from your opponent's Pokémon that has δ on its card is reduced by 40 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Ice Beam Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 20 damage

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

Surge Cost: Colorless + Colorless + Colorless · 40+ damage

Weakness: Lightning ×2
Retreat cost: 2

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.
