# Max Potion #121/116 — Plasma Freeze

## Summary

Max Potion's full heal came with a steep cost, discarding every Energy, so it mostly served decks built to recycle Energy or finish a Pokémon already in trouble. The secret rare slot is the real draw, a gold-era chase pull in a set with few such Trainers. The modelled guide sits at $39 with 1 copy traded in 30 days; a PSA 10 guides at $219, 5.6 times raw, but a 23% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
