08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Nosepass with 60 HP; top attack around — damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Invisible Hand Cost: Colorless

If any of your opponent's Active Pokémon are Evolved Pokémon, search your deck for any 1 card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.

Repulsion Cost: Colorless + Colorless

Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent returns the Defending Pokémon and all cards attached to it to his or her hand. (If your opponent doesn't have any Benched Pokémon or other Active Pokémon, this attack does nothing.)

Weakness: Water ×2
Retreat cost: 1

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.
