These Legendary cards - the Zapdos is different from the one you start with if you pick Charmander, by the way - are not unlocked through microtransactions or by spending in-game currency on booster packs with a tiny drop rate, however, theyre just unlocked by battling the Grand Masters
These two strikes against the cards make them no-gos right now in Modern, but still reasonable options to have should the metagame call for it
Don't underestimate the potential of iconic Pokmon like a Mewtwo Promo for around $7.56 or a Charizard VSTAR Promo for about $24.53, each having their own unique value in the market
If you have three energy counters, give yourself another
These cards often feature alternate artwork, unique abilities, or special foil effects, making them highly coveted by collectors
The main difference is that, unlike Snappy, you cant cast it in response to something and counter a spell right away
