07Why Collectors Want It

  • Original WotC-era printing from the Base Set set — foundational vintage Farfetch'd.
  • A standalone Kanto Normal/Flying-type famous for the leek it carries — in Galar it evolves into Sirfetch'd.
  • Required for any complete Farfetch'd master set across eras.
  • Collectors of the Base Set set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Farfetch'd with 50 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Leek Slap Cost: Colorless · 30 damage

Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Either way, you can't use this attack again as long as Farfetch'd stays in play (even putting Farfetch'd on the Bench won't let you use it again).

Pot Smash Cost: Colorless + Colorless + Colorless · 30 damage

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Farfetch'd 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.
