The reverse-holo Gloom outpaces the standard holo in value.
A target for Aquapolis and e-Card-era collectors.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Gloom with 70 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

Ability: Enervating Pollen

As long as Gloom is in play, Resistance on each player's Active Pokémon only reduces damage by 10.

Both the Defending Pokémon and Gloom are now Asleep (after doing damage).

Weakness: Fire ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Aquapolis crosshatch holos scratch readily; clean graded copies are scarce.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
