09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: Bursting Up
Once during your turn when you play Typhlosion ex from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, count the number of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. You may search your deck for up to that number of Fire Energy cards and attach them to 1 of your Fire Pokémon. Shuffle your deck afterward.
Kindle
Discard an Energy card attached to Typhlosion ex and then discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: Modern ultra/secret rare; PSA 10 populations are moderate and grading is common for higher-value pulls.
Holo scratching and centering are the usual downgrade culprits; graded gem-mint copies trade above raw.
Other graders: CGC and BGS both grade modern ultra-rares; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
