08Competitive Playability

Tier: Situational

TAG TEAM GX Magikarp with 300 HP and a top attack near 180 damage. Ultra-rare Magikarp variants like this occasionally turned up in constructed decks during their era, though seldom as a deck's centerpiece.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Super Splash Cost: Water + Water + Water + Water + Water · 180 damage

Towering Splash-GX Cost: Water · 10 damage

If this Pokémon has at least 7 extra Water Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack's cost), this attack does 100 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

Weakness: Grass ×2
Retreat cost: 4

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.
