A neat shortcut for collectors who want the essentials in one place
Adding an easy to apply stamp to a cheap raichu doesnt make it legit
The Water-type archetype also has a huge amount of support, with cards like Misty giving you a way to quickly generate energy, Irida letting you heal any Pokmon with water energy on it, and Vaporeon letting you shift energy from your bench to the active spot as much as you like
Cards are graded based on factors like centering, edges, corners, and surface condition
If you do not control another creature at that exact moment, the ability never triggers at all
As a personal side note: for the past three years my girlfriend and I have been collecting all cards illustrated by Kanako Eo and thought we were done, so you can guess how exciting it was to find out there had actually been one more unlisted card somewhere out there all this time
