07Why Collectors Want It

  • The Ice-type Eeveelution introduced in Gen IV (printed as a Water-type in the TCG) — evolves from Eevee near an Ice Rock.
  • Required for any complete Glaceon master set across eras.
  • Collectors of the Rising Rivals set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Glaceon with 80 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Frost Wind

As long as Glaceon is your Active Pokémon, any damage done to your Pokémon by your opponent's attacks is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Ice Blade Cost: Water + Colorless

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Ice Bind Cost: Water + Colorless + Colorless · 50 damage

If your opponent doesn't discard a card from his or her hand, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

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.
