VSTAR Dragonite with 280 HP and a top attack near 250 damage. Ultra-rare Dragonite variants like this occasionally turned up in constructed decks during their era, though seldom as a deck's centerpiece.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Giga Impact Cost: Water + Lightning + Colorless + Colorless · 250 damage

During your next turn, this Pokémon can't attack.

Draconic Star Cost: Colorless

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.
