On 11 October, in detail

58 and more copies for sale

Card language: French. Sellers: European Union. Asking prices exclude shipping and import charges. On 11 October, we observed at least 58 copies in this selection.

We read the fifty cheapest listings, and that day the list went on past them.

One listing can offer several copies, so we count the cards one by one.

Here’s how they split by condition.

  • Mint 2 copies across 2 listings
  • Near Mint 55 copies across 47 listings
  • Good 1 copy across 1 listing

In Near Mint, professional sellers usually ask 5% more than private sellers.

We compared their 9 listings with 38 listings from private sellers, all in this condition.

A professional seller sells cards for a living, often through a shop. A private seller is a collector or a player like you, selling their own cards. These are the prices they put up. The final price of a sale is something we don’t see.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    300 HP. Only 3 cards in Surging Sparks carry more.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Assemble Alloy. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. A strength

    Archaludon ex / N's Zoroark ex runs it in 47 of the 47 lists we have read, seen across 38 different tournaments.

  4. A strength

    Mark H. It is one of the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J.

  5. Keep in mind

    It is an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 6,699 tournament lists we have read, 1,590 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
