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 ~$25 — Skyridge reverse foils are particularly chase-tier among Nidoqueen-line collectors.
  • Skyridge sealed product is some of the rarest in the entire WotC era, making any clean reverse-holo pull legitimately scarce.
  • A foundational entry for any vintage Nidoqueen-line collector and one of the more reliable e-Card-era grading flips.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

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

09Card Moves and Abilities

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.
