08Competitive Playability

Stage 2 Sceptile with 100 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Energy Trans

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), move a Grass Energy card attached to 1 of your Pokémon to another of your Pokémon. This power can't be used if Sceptile is affected by a Special Condition.

Tail Rap Cost: Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 50× damage

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 50 damage times the number of heads.

Weakness: Fire ×2
Resistance: Water -30
Retreat cost: 3

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.
