08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 ex Vaporeon with 120 HP; top attack around 60 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Evolutionary Swirl

Once during your turn, when you play Vaporeon ex from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may have your opponent shuffle his or her hand into his or her deck. Then, your opponent draws up to 4 cards.

Fastwave Cost: Water + Colorless · 40 damage

This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, or any other effects on the Defending Pokémon.

Hydrosplash Cost: Water + Colorless + Colorless · 60 damage

Weakness: Lightning ×2
Retreat cost: 1

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.
