07Why Collectors Want It

One of Aquapolis' celebrated 'Crystal' secret rares (2003), with the e-Card era's etched crystal-foil treatment.
Secret-numbered #148/147 — printed beyond the set total at the rarest pull rate, alongside Crystal Lugia #149.
Crystal cards are among the most distinctive and sought vintage chases.
Verified at ~$372 raw, PSA 10 ~$9,150 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — about a 25x gem-mint jump.
Crystal foil scratches easily, so clean high-grade copies are scarce.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Kingdra with 110 HP; top attack around 60 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Crystal Type

Whenever you attach a Water, Lightning, or Psychic basic Energy card from your hand to Kingdra, Kingdra's type (color) becomes the same as that Energy card type until the end of the turn.

Aquabomb Cost: Water + Water + Lightning · 40 damage

Kingdra does 10 damage to itself. (Don't apply Weakness or Resistance when Kingdra damages itself with this attack.)

Dual Burn Cost: Psychic + Psychic + Lightning + Colorless · 60 damage

Flip 2 coins. For each tails, discard 1 Energy card attached to Kingdra.

Weakness: Lightning ×2
Retreat cost: 3

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$9,150 against ~$372 raw — roughly 25x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

The etched crystal foil shows hairlines and whitening readily, and e-Card centering is tight, so gem mints are uncommon.

Other graders: PSA dominates resale on vintage crystals; BGS and CGC copies trade at a discount to an equivalent PSA 10.
