07Why Collectors Want It

Platinum (2009) included a six-card 'Rare Shiny' subset (SH1-SH6); the Shiny Vulpix #SH6 is a chase of that group.
It trades around $99 raw (PriceCharting realized, May 2026), placing it among the top Vulpix cards in the catalog.
Shiny-subset cards were pulled at very low rates, giving them lasting appeal among Vulpix and shiny collectors.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Vulpix with 60 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 sales not separately verified here; the realized raw figure is ~$99.

As a holographic Shiny-subset card, clean copies are scarce; a verified PSA 10 figure is not cited until confirmed against realized sales.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
