08Competitive Playability

Level-Up Hippowdon with 130 HP; top attack around — damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: Sand Reset
Once during a game on your turn (before your attack), each player shuffles all cards in play (excluding Pokémon and Supporter cards) into his or her deck. You can't use more than 1 Sand Reset Poké-Power each game.
Double Shoot
Discard 2 Fighting Energy attached to Hippowdon and choose 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This attack does 40 damage to each of them. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

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.
