07Why Collectors Want It

Aquapolis (2003) reverse holos are notoriously pop-thin in PSA 10 due to fragile e-Card foiling.
Tangela is a Common in this set, so most copies were tossed — surviving raw reverses are scarce.
PSA 10 figures (~$164) reflect ~6× raw — modest premium but the cleanest e-Card Tangela pickup.
A genuine collector slot for Aquapolis completionists and Tangela-line collectors.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Tangela with 60 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Tickling Vines Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 10 damage

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't attack during your opponent's next turn.

Double Kick Cost: Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 30× damage

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads.

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

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.
