What Is On This Card?

Ability

Resolute Heart

If this Pokémon has full HP and would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack, it is not Knocked Out, and its remaining HP becomes 10.

Attack · 300 damage

Topaz Bolt

Grass + Lightning + Metal energy. Discard 3 Energy from this Pokémon.

As long as this Pokémon is on your Bench, prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by attacks (both yours and your opponent’s).

Pokémon ex rule: When your Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Ascended Heroes set name, and 277 / 217 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.
