07Why Collectors Want It

An e-Card-era holo from Skyridge (2003), numbered H8/144.
Verified at ~$143 raw, PSA 10 ~$787 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — roughly a 6x gem-mint multiple.
Skyridge holos are notoriously hard to find well-centered, so high grades are scarce.
A recognized e-Card-era sleeper among Forretress and Johto-era collectors.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Forretress with 70 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Spinning Blow Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 20× damage

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads. If both coins are heads, switch Forretress with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.

Scatterbomb Cost: Metal + Colorless + Colorless · 40 damage

Flip 2 coins. For each heads, do 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. For each tails, do 10 damage to each of your own Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Weakness: Fire ×2
Resistance: Grass -30
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$787 against ~$143 raw — roughly 6x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Skyridge holo foil shows hairlines and the print runs off-center, so gem-mint copies are genuinely scarce.

Other graders: PSA leads resale on e-Card holos; BGS and CGC copies trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
