As smpratte discussed in his video from a while back, the Gold Star set is extremely iconic in the tcg from a collectability standpointlowest print run in the tcg, unique shiny art that exceeded the border for the first time, holo bleed on some cards, a consistent artist across all the sets/cards, good selection of Pokemon and of course, really low PSA 10 Gem Mint pops for pretty much all the Gold Stars outside of the dog trio
Some of them were even tournament worthy in their prime, but they always came with some kind of drawback
While its Gouge attack can only deal 20 damage at most, Dark Espeons true danger is in its Psysplash attack, which damages each of an opponents Pokmon with a damage counter for every energy card they have attached
Supports casual play and organized card game activities
If at least one Zombie card is milled this way, each opponent loses 2 life and you gain 2 life
Nonetheless, thats not a common scenario, mostly because Dragonite VSTAR has a very decent 280 HP, which will guarantee your Dragonite will be active for a while
