What Is On This Card?

Attack

Rest

Colorless energy. This Pokémon is now Asleep. Heal 30 damage from it.

Attack · 20 damage

Headbutt

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

It is always vacantly lost in thought, but no one knows what it is thinking about. It is good at fishing with its tail.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Scarlet & Violet set name, and 204 / 198 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.
