Legality & Play Notes

Legality: unknown

Max Beating offers scalable damage by discarding up to 3 Grass Energy, enabling flexible knockouts when needed. Balance this with the VMAX rule—giving up 3 Prize cards on a Knock Out—by timing evolutions carefully and leveraging the high 330 HP to absorb pressure before committing to big swings.

Care & Storage Tips

Protect the holo finish by sleeving immediately and avoiding direct sunlight and moisture. Use a top loader or a binder with rigid pages for long-term storage—especially fitting for a Rare Holo VMAX.
