What Is On This Card?

Evolves from: Grovyle

Poké-Power

Energy Trans

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), move a Grass Energy card attached to 1 of your Pokémon to another of your Pokémon. This power can't be used if Sceptile is affected by a Special Condition.

Attack · 50× damage

Tail Rap

Grass + Colorless + Colorless energy. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 50 damage times the number of heads.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, POP Series 4 set name, and 5 / 17 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.
