07Why Collectors Want It

The final card of FireRed & LeafGreen (112/112) — the set's headline chase.
A 150-HP "ex" Venusaur — a big-body Grass attacker that fit the FRLG-era Grass strategies.
Strong nostalgia for the FireRed/LeafGreen games and the early "ex" mechanic.
Holographic ex cards from this era are increasingly collected.
A standout for both Venusaur and EX-series set collectors.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: Vintage/format staple

In its 2004–2005 format, this 150-HP Venusaur ex was a usable high-HP Grass attacker (with the era's "ex = 2 prizes" risk). Long out of rotation now, it's collected rather than played.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Energy Trans

Pollen Hazard Cost: Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 20 damage

The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned, Burned, and Confused.

Solarbeam Cost: Grass + Grass + Grass + Colorless + Colorless · 90 damage

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: EX-era holo "ex" — PSA 10 populations are modest and command premiums.

Holo surface and centering are the usual downgrades.

Other graders: PSA, BGS and CGC all grade EX-series cards.
