07Why Collectors Want It

  • Tangela — the Vine Pokemon, a single-stage Grass-type Kanto-original (later given the Tangrowth evolution).
  • Full-art Illustration Rare artwork — modern collectors actively chase IRs from this set.
  • Required for any complete Tangela master set across eras.
  • Collectors of the Ascended Heroes set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Tangela with 80 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

Once during your turn, you may use this Ability. Search your deck for an Erika's Pokémon, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.

Bind Cost: Grass + Colorless · 50 damage

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Illustration Rare; PSA 10 population is climbing as collectors submit chase cards.

Centering and edge wear are common downgrade reasons; verified PSA 10s carry meaningful premiums.

Other graders: CGC submissions trend up for modern IRs; PSA remains the resale standard.
