08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Umbreon with 80 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Dark Moon

As long as Umbreon is your Active Pokémon and has a Darkness Energy attached to it, once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at your opponent's hand. Choose from it a number of cards up to the number of Darkness Energy attached to Umbreon and shuffle them into your opponent's deck. Your opponent then draws the same number of cards from his or her deck. This power can't be used if Umbreon is affected by a Special Condition.

Shadow Bind Cost: Colorless + Colorless + Colorless · 30 damage

The Defending Pokémon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn.

Weakness: Fighting ×2
Resistance: Psychic -30
Retreat cost: 1

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.
