COLLECTOR'S BREAKDOWN: PASSIMIAN - ULTRA PRISM (COMMON) [70/156]

This is a standard English language Pokémon Trading Card Game card featuring the Pokémon Passimian. It's identified as a 'Basic' Pokémon with 110 HP, and its primary type is Fighting (indicated by the brown symbol). The card features artwork of Passimian, which is known for its ability to coordinate attacks with other Passimian. The set symbol at the bottom confirms it is from the Sun & Moon—Ultra Prism expansion.

CULTURAL CARD LORE

Where This Object Echoes

Madagascar / PrimatologyContemporary

Passimian's design is inspired by lemurs, particularly the black-and-white ruffed lemur native to Madagascar, known for their social structures and fruit-eating habits.

Ritual & Ceremonial Use

•Competitive play within the Pokémon Trading Card Game, where players strategize with different Pokémon abilities and attacks to win matches.
•Collecting and trading cards as part of the broader Pokémon fandom.

CARD HISTORY & PRINT RUNS

The Ultra Prism expansion, released in 2018, continued the Sun & Moon series for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introducing new Pokémon from the Alola region, including Passimian. This set was notable for introducing 'Prism Star' cards, which offered powerful effects but could only be included once per deck. Passimian itself is often characterized in the Pokémon lore as a team player, known for its strategic fruit-throwing attacks in groups, which is reflected in its 'Power Huddle' Ability on this card, supporting other Passimian in play.

COLLECTOR INTEL

Passimian is based on a lemur, specifically a black-and-white ruffed lemur, and plays rugby-like games, using berries as projectiles.

The 'Power Huddle' ability on this card directly reflects Passimian's in-game and anime persona as a cooperative Pokémon that thrives in teamwork strategies.

How does authenticity detection work?

GRADING EXPERT'S TAKE

Trading Card Market Analyst

Card Specialist

I have high confidence in the identification of the card, set, and rarity based on visible text, set numbering, and symbols. The condition assessment is preliminary due to limited views and lighting.

KEY EVIDENCE

1The card is 'Passimian' with 110 HP, a Basic Fighting-type Pokémon.
2The set code '70/156' and the set symbol confirm it belongs to the Sun & Moon—Ultra Prism expansion.
3The card is a common rarity due to the black circle symbol next to the set number and its overall print frequency for the set.
4The language is English, indicated by the text and card layout.

UNCERTAINTIES

•The full back of the card is not visible, preventing a complete centering and edge condition check.
•Lighting conditions make it difficult to identify any subtle surface imperfections or scratches.

WHAT WOULD IMPROVE CERTAINTY

→Provide clear, well-lit images of the card's back to check centering, edges, and manufacturing defects.
→Provide images of the card's surface under angled light to inspect for scratches, print lines, or indentations.
→Confirm if the card has any uncommon variants, like a reverse holo version (though unlikely for a common from this era unless part of a specific product).

CONDITION & GRADE

Condition

Based on the visible surface, the card appears to be in played or near-mint condition, though minor edge wear or surface scratches are possible and would affect value. The corners appear relatively sharp, but a full assessment would require closer inspection.

Surface

The card exhibits a smooth, glossy finish typical of modern Pokémon cards. There are no visible holographic elements, indicating a regular non-holo printing.
