08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Level-Up Drapion with 130 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: Tri-Poison
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon. That Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 3 damage counters instead of 1 on that Pokémon between turns. This power can't be used if Drapion is affected by a Special Condition.
Sniping Tail
Does 40 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) The Defending Pokémon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn.

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.
