Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for personal collection. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card, as it is a very common pull from a modern celebratory set.
Card Description
Pokemon Power: Final Beam - When Dark Gyarados is Knocked Out by an attack, flip a coin. If heads, this power does 20 damage for each Water Energy attached to Dark Gyarados to the Pokemon that Knocked Out Dark Gyarados. Ice Beam: 30 damage, flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokemon is now Paralyzed.
Notable Features
Features a 25th Anniversary Pikachu head stamp on the right side of the art box. The card uses a modern 'confetti' or speckled holofoil pattern across the entire card face, differing from the original Team Rocket release.
Authentication Notes
The pixelation of the confetti foil and the specific 25th anniversary stamp placement are consistent with authentic Celebrations Classic Collection prints. Font and 'Team Rocket' R symbol are correct for this reprint.
