On 10 October, in detail

56 and more copies for sale

Card language: French. Sellers: Worldwide. Asking prices exclude shipping and import charges. On 10 October, we observed at least 56 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.

  • Near Mint 55 copies across 49 listings
  • Excellent 1 copy across 1 listing

In Near Mint, professional sellers usually ask 7% more than private sellers.

We compared their 22 listings with 27 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.

Intermediate pace

Its copies leave at an in-between pace.

  • At least 25 copies gone since 15 September
  • 56 or more for sale on 9 October

The pokoSCORE looks at how fast copies of this card leave the listings we check every day, where collectors sell cards to each other, and compares that pace with the other cards in French that we follow. It says nothing about the price: a card can fly off the shelf and still be worth three euros.

A copy that’s gone may have sold, or its seller may have taken it down: from the outside, the two look alike. We only count the ones that never came back on sale, hence the “at least”.

“Or more”: the page didn’t show us everything, so more copies may be waiting behind it.

When it came out

Its attacks

Steel WingAiles d'Acier

50

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

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

    It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.

  3. A strength

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

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 6,646 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 6,646 tournament lists we have read, 541 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
