07Why Collectors Want It

A Gold Star (★): the EX era's rarest pull rate, roughly one per booster box, with alternate shiny-style artwork.
Secret-numbered #111/113 — one of the three Gold Stars that close out EX Delta Species (2005).
A marquee legendary in Gold Star form, sought by every EX-era set builder.
Verified at ~$1,101 raw, PSA 10 ~$14,797 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — about a 13x gem-mint jump.
Condition-sensitive gold foil keeps the high-grade population low.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: Niche

Basic Groudon with 90 HP; top attack near 80 damage — playable in casual or rogue lists, not a competitive staple.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$14,797 against ~$1,101 raw — roughly 13x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Gold-star foil scratching and centering are the usual downgrades; clean gem-mint copies are scarce.

Other graders: PSA carries the deepest liquidity on Gold Stars; BGS and CGC examples trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
