07Why Collectors Want It

An e-Card-era holo from Aquapolis (2003), numbered H22/147.
Verified at ~$198 raw, PSA 10 ~$3,739 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — roughly a 19x gem-mint multiple.
Aquapolis holos are notoriously hard to find well-centered, so high grades are scarce.
A recognized e-Card-era sleeper among Slowking and Johto-era collectors.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Slowking with 80 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

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: PSA 10 ~$3,739 against ~$198 raw — roughly 19x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).

Aquapolis holo foil shows hairlines and the print runs off-center, so gem-mint copies are genuinely scarce.

Other graders: PSA leads resale on e-Card holos; BGS and CGC copies trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
