08Competitive Playability

Tier: Situational

VMAX Pikachu with 310 HP and a top attack near 120 damage. Ultra-rare Pikachu variants like this occasionally turned up in constructed decks during their era, though seldom as a deck's centerpiece.

09Card Moves and Abilities

G-Max Volt Tackle Cost: Lightning + Lightning + Lightning · 120+ damage

You may discard all Energy from this Pokémon. If you do, this attack does 150 more damage.

Weakness: Fighting ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern ultra/secret rare; PSA 10 populations are moderate and grading is common for higher-value pulls.

Holo scratching and centering are the usual downgrade culprits; graded gem-mint copies trade above raw.

Other graders: CGC and BGS both grade modern ultra-rares; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
