Collectors of the Neo Genesis set need this card to finish it.

Flame Wheel Cost: Fire + Fire + Fire + Fire · 80 damage

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Typhlosion PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
