08Competitive Playability

Tier: Niche

VMAX Vaporeon with 320 HP; top attack near 100 damage — playable in casual or rogue lists, not a competitive staple.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Bubble Pod Cost: Colorless

Put a Water Pokémon from your discard pile onto your Bench. If you do, attach up to 3 Water Energy cards from your discard pile to that Pokémon.

Max Torrent Cost: Water + Colorless + Colorless · 100+ damage

If your opponent's Active Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 100 more damage.

Retreat cost: 2

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.
