# Virizion (Japanese) #008 — EX Battle Boost

## Summary

Virizion crouches low in a sunlit green meadow on this Japanese card, its pale body nearly dissolving into the bright grass behind it, with a single red eye picking it out. A Grass-type from the Swords of Justice trio, it carried real weight in its era thanks to a Leaf Slugger attack that built damage turn over turn. EX Battle Boost arrived in Japan in July 2013, months before Treasures from the English set Virizion appeared in November. The modelled guide sits at $5.07 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file, and a PSA 10 would fetch about $50 against $85 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
