07Why Collectors Want It

An e-Card-era print from 2003's Skyridge — the final e-Card set, with notoriously short distribution and the era's signature ultra-thin sealed-product supply.
Reverse-holo raw ~$60 — paired with the H21 holo at the top of the Nidoqueen Skyridge run.
Skyridge sealed product is some of the rarest in the entire WotC era, making any clean PSA 10 pull legitimately scarce.
A foundational pickup for any vintage Nidoqueen collector and a strong companion to the H21 chase.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Nidoqueen with 110 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Evolution Helper

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Nidoqueen is on your Bench, you may search your deck for a card that evolves from your Active Pokémon and attach it to your Active Pokémon. (This counts as evolving that Pokémon.) Shuffle your deck afterward.

Double Claw Cost: Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 30+ damage

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads

Weakness: Psychic ×2
Retreat cost: 3

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.
