07Why Collectors Want It

  • Original WotC-era printing from the Wizards Black Star Promos set — foundational vintage Dragonite.
  • Dragonite — Pokemon TCG catalog for the Kanto-region Colorless-type Pokemon (Pokedex #149).
  • Promo-only distribution makes supply meaningfully tighter than mass-retail cards.
  • Required for any complete Dragonite master set across eras.
  • Collectors of the Wizards Black Star Promos set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Dragonite with 90 HP; top attack around 60 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Special Delivery

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may draw a card. If you do, choose a card from your hand and put it on top of your deck. This power can't be used if Dragonite is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Supersonic Flight Cost: Colorless + Colorless + Colorless · 60 damage

Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Dragonite PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
