What Is On This Card?

Evolves from: Ivysaur

Pokémon Power

Energy Trans

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may take 1 Grass Energy card attached to 1 of your Pokémon and attach it to a different one. This power can't be used if Venusaur is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Attack · 60 damage

Solarbeam

Grass + Grass + Grass + Grass energy. No additional attack text is listed.

This plant blooms when it is absorbing solar energy. It stays on the move to seek sunlight.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Base set name, and 15 / 102 collector number. Those identifiers matter more than the character name alone because the Pokémon TCG can reuse names across reprints, promos, alternate artwork, and later expansions.

Next, match the finish and condition. A holofoil, reverse holofoil, unlimited, or first-edition listing may carry a different reference price even when it belongs to the same card printing. Grading adds another layer: raw marketplace references should not be treated as prices for PSA, Beckett, or CGC slabs.

Finally, compare the visible update date with current marketplace listings and recent sold results. MonZap gives you a fast catalog reference, set context, and scanner workflow, while the linked marketplaces help you check what is available right now.
