Condition & Value Assessment

Condition Grade

Near Mint (NM)

Estimated Market Value

$0.10 - $0.50 (Raw)

Recent Sales

Consistently sells as a bulk rare for $0.15 to $0.40 on TCGPlayer and eBay. Graded copies are rarely sold as the grading fee far exceeds the market value.

Condition Details

Observed centering appears slightly heavy on the bottom and right borders. Edges and corners look clean based on the photo resolution, though minimal silvering or factory edge whitening may be present on the reverse (unseen). Surface shows clean holofoil shine with no major visible scratches.

Grading Recommendation

Not recommended for grading. This is a standard holo rare with high pull rates; the cost of grading ($15-$25+) would significantly outweigh the market value of the card even if it achieved a Gem Mint 10.

Card Description

Ability: Adverse Weather - As long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, prevent all damage done to your Benched Pokémon by attacks from your opponent’s Pokémon. Attack: Gigantic Bolt (140) - This Pokémon also does 90 damage to itself. HP 110. Type: Lightning.

Notable Features

Features the modern vertical 'line' holofoil pattern characteristic of the Scarlet & Violet series. Includes a holo border also standard for this era's Rare cards.

Authentication Notes

Authentic. The font, set symbol (OBF), holofoil sheen, and bottom-left copyright text/border details are consistent with official Pokemon Company International printing standards for the Obsidian Flames set.
