What Is On This Card?

Poké-Body

Dark Condition

As long as Rocket's Entei ex has any Darkness Energy attached to it, Rocket's Entei ex has no Weakness.

Attack · 10 damage

Energy Link

Colorless energy. Search your discard pile for an Energy card and attach it to Rocket's Entei ex.

Volcanic Ash

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

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Team Rocket Returns set name, and 97 / 109 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.
