07Why Collectors Want It

Collectors of the Neo Revelation set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Lanturn with 80 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Submerge

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may change Lanturn's type to Water until the end of your turn. This power can't be used if Lanturn is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. If Lanturn becomes Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed after you have used this power, its type changes back to Lightning.

Blinding Light Cost: Lightning + Colorless + Colorless · 30 damage

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused.

Weakness: Fighting ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Lanturn PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
