08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Lanturn with 80 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Ion Coating

You may use this power once during each of your turns (before your attack). All Lightning Energy attached to your Active Pokémon becomes Water Energy for the rest of the turn. (This effect ends if your Active Pokémon retreats or is returned to your hand.) This power can't be used if Lanturn is affected by a Special Condition.

Electric Tackle Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 20+ damage

This attack does 20 damage plus 10 damage for each Lightning Energy attached to Lanturn. Flip a coin. If tails, Lanturn does 10 damage to itself for each Lightning Energy attached to it.

Weakness: Fighting ×2
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.
