During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Scizor ex by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

If the Defending Pokémon is an Evolved Pokémon, this attack does 50 damage plus 30 more damage.

Resistance: Grass -30
Retreat cost: 1

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.
