08Competitive Playability

Tier: Situational

VMAX Grimmsnarl with 330 HP and a top attack near 170 damage. Ultra-rare Grimmsnarl variants like this occasionally turned up in constructed decks during their era, though seldom as a deck's centerpiece.

09Card Moves and Abilities

G-Max Drill Cost: Darkness + Darkness + Darkness · 170+ damage

This attack does 50 more damage for each extra Darkness Energy attached to this Pokémon (in addition to this attack's cost). You can't add more than 100 damage in this way.

Weakness: Grass ×2
Retreat cost: 3

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern ultra/secret rare; PSA 10 populations are moderate and grading is common for higher-value pulls.

Holo scratching and centering are the usual downgrade culprits; graded gem-mint copies trade above raw.

Other graders: CGC and BGS both grade modern ultra-rares; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
