- Size. 0.5m (1ft 8in) and 12.0kg (26lb).
- Capture rate 190 of 255. Higher is easier to catch. This is about as easy to catch as the games get.

Prices are pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, read August 31, 2026. A guide value is computed across the sales PriceCharting tracks, which is a wider set of venues than any one marketplace. 2 cards of the 5,396 priced here are not listed by PriceCharting and keep their TCGplayer market price via TCGdex instead. Where a card comes as a normal, holo and reverse holo at different prices, the figure is the priciest of them. Prices move daily, so treat these as a ballpark. Search every card.

- ½xFire, Water, Ice and Flying
- ¼xSteel, double resistance
This is the video game chart, not the card game.
