07Why Collectors Want It

Skyridge (2003) closed out the Wizards-of-the-Coast era and was short-printed in English, so its 32-card holo 'H' subset is prized by vintage set-builders.
Dewgong H6 trades around $215 raw, with PSA 10 copies realizing roughly $2,190 (PriceCharting, May 2026).
The e-Card layout, with its dot-code strips along the border, is notoriously hard to grade gem-mint, adding to the PSA 10 premium.
As the evolution of Seel, it's a natural target for collectors completing the Seel to Dewgong line in holo.

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

Freeze Lock Cost: Water + Colorless · 20 damage

Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent can't attach Energy cards from his or her hand to his or her Active Pokémon during his or her next turn.

Crushing Ice Cost: Water + Water + Colorless + Colorless · 40+ damage

This attack does 40 damage plus 10 more damage for each Colorless Energy in the Defending Pokémon's Retreat Cost. Damage is calculated using the Defending Pokémon's Retreat Cost after applying effects to the Retreat Cost.

Weakness: Metal ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: ~$2,190 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026)

Skyridge holos with the e-Card border are difficult to grade clean; edge whitening is common, so PSA 10 examples sell for roughly 10x raw.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
