07Why Collectors Want It

  • The second of two Rattata prints in EX Team Rocket Returns — both shipping in the 2004 villain-themed set.
  • Reverse-holo raw ~$32 vs. PSA 10 ~$697 — a ~22× grading multiple; the #71 sibling carries a much heavier ~132× lift.
  • EX-era reverse-holo foil scarcity drives the multiple; centering and edge wear are the usual downgrades.
  • A natural pickup if you've already grabbed #71 — the pair finishes Rattata's Team Rocket Returns slot.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Rattata with 40 HP; top attack around — damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Call for Family Cost: Colorless

Search your deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it onto your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward.

Snarl Cost: Colorless

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.
