What Is On This Card?

Evolves from: Marshtomp

Poké-Power

Energy Recycle

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your discard pile for 3 Energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon in any way you like. If you do, your turn ends. This power can't be used if Swampert ex is affected by a Special Condition.

Attack · 60+ damage

Ultra Pump

Water + Colorless + Colorless energy. You may discard 2 cards from your hand. If you do, this attack does 60 damage plus 20 more damage and does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Collector workflow

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Crystal Guardians set name, and 98 / 100 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.
