What Is On This Card?

Evolves from: Sceptile-EX

Attack · 100 damage

Jagged Saber

Grass + Colorless energy. You may attach up to 2 Grass Energy cards from your hand to your Benched Pokémon in any way you like. If you attached Energy to a Pokémon in this way, heal all damage from that Pokémon.

Mega Evolution rule: When 1 of your Pokémon becomes a Mega Evolution Pokémon, your turn ends.

Pokémon-EX rule: When a Pokémon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Ancient Origins set name, and 85 / 98 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.
