08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

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

09Card Moves and Abilities

Quick Attack Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 10+ damage

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 20 more damage; if tails, this attack does 10 damage.

Water Gun Cost: Water + Water + Colorless · 30+ damage

Does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Vaporeon but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. Extra Water Energy after the 2nd doesn't count.

Weakness: Lightning ×2
Retreat cost: 1

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Vaporeon 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.
