What Is On This Card?

Ability

Shining Vine

Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, when you attach a Grass Energy card from your hand to it, you may switch 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon with their Active Pokémon.

Attack · 160 damage

Forest Dump

Grass + Colorless + Colorless + Colorless energy. No additional attack text is listed.

Attack

Solar Plant-GX

Colorless + Colorless + Colorless energy. This attack does 50 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. If this Pokémon has at least 2 extra Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack's cost), heal all damage from all of your Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

TAG TEAM rule: When your TAG TEAM is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 3 Prize cards.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, SM Black Star Promos set name, and SM229 / 248 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.
