09Card Moves and Abilities

Bursting Hand Cost: Colorless · 10× damage

Look at your opponent's hand. This attack does 10 damage times the number of Energy cards there.

Shuffle Attack Cost: Psychic + Colorless + Colorless · 40 damage

Look at a number of cards on top of your opponent's deck equal to the number of Energy cards attached to the Defending Pokémon. Put those cards in any order, and then put them back on top of your opponent's deck.

Weakness: Psychic ×2
Retreat cost: 1

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.
