07Why Collectors Want It

• Released in 2010's HS—Undaunted, the HGSS-era set that ran in the middle of the Johto-remake block.
• Reverse-holo raw ~$6 vs. PSA 10 ~$161 — a ~27× grading multiple, one of the more efficient grading flips on the entire Raticate-line board.
• HGSS-era reverse-holo foil downgrades on surface scuffs and centering; out-of-pack copies have plenty of room to downgrade.
• A sleeper-grail pickup for any HGSS-era Raticate-line collector — sub-$10 raw entry to a three-figure PSA 10 lift.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

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

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.
