What Is On This Card?

Attack · 10× damage

Psywave

Psychic energy. Does 10 damage times the number of Energy cards attached to the Defending Pokémon.

Attack

Devolution Beam

Psychic + Psychic energy. Choose an evolved Pokémon (your own or your opponent's). Return the highest Stage Evolution card on that Pokémon to its player's hand. That Pokémon is no longer Asleep, Confused, Paralyzed, or Poisoned, or anything else that might be the result of an attack (just as if you had evolved it).

So rare that it is still said to be a mirage by many experts. Only a few people have seen it worldwide.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Wizards Black Star Promos set name, and 9 / 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.
