Collectors of the Hidden Legends set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Metagross with 100 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Metal Juncture

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move a Metal Energy card attached to 1 of your Benched Pokémon to your Active Pokémon. This power can't be used if Metagross is affected by a Special Condition.

Squared Attack Cost: Psychic + Metal + Colorless · 30× damage

Flip 4 coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads.

Weakness: Fire ×2
Resistance: Psychic -30
Retreat cost: 2

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.
