Team Rocket’s Crobat ex Special Illustration Rare
Cards like this Crobat always tend to do well. Pack them with intricate background detail and people are far more willing to pay up. So the Golbat and Zubat flitting around behind, accompanied by a Team Rocket member, boosts this.
It also helps that it’s a real tank of a Pokémon. If you can get it in play (which requires two evolutions) you’ve got a 120 attack for just two energy, with a massive 310HP. It can dish out the hits while absorbing a lot itself, and the moment it’s looking vulnerable, you can return it to your hand for no cost and save a prize card. Neat.
$65 makes this a very expensive way to play the card, however! Thankfully, the identical ability is available on the regular version of the card, which is currently selling for 72c!
