07Why Collectors Want It

Hitmonchan — the Punching Pokemon and one of the original Kanto Hitmon trio, immortalized as Base Set #7 Rare Holo.
Required for any complete Hitmonchan master set across eras.
Collectors of the Legends Awakened set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Hitmonchan with 70 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Weakness: Psychic +20
Retreat cost: 1

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.
