What Is On This Card?

Attack

Energy Control

Psychic energy. Flip a coin. If heads, choose a basic Energy card attached to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon and attach it to another of your opponent's Pokémon of your choice.

Attack

Telekinesis

Psychic + Psychic + Psychic energy. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for this attack. (Any other effects that would happen after applying Weakness and Resistance still happen.)

A scientist created this Pokémon after years of horrific gene-splicing and DNA engineering experiments.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Wizards Black Star Promos set name, and 12 / 53 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.
