Venomoth 29/64 · Jungle

Venomoth is Pokédex #049, generation 1 (Kanto). Venomoth is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 28. The card says it evolves from Venonat. In this catalog that name is Venonat (#048).

Venomoth sits at 29/64 in Jungle, position 29 of 64. Before it is 28 Vaporeon, and after it is 30 Victreebel. The set belongs to the Base series. It was released on June 16, 1999. The printed size is 64, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

Shift is listed as Pokémon Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may change the type of Venomoth to the type of any other Pokémon in play other than Colorless. This power can't be used if Venomoth is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Venom Powder lists 10 damage. The cost is Grass, Grass. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused and Poisoned. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. The flavor text reads "The dust-like scales covering its wings are color coded to indicate the kinds of poison it has."

Venomoth (#049) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Venomoth 13/64 in Jungle (1999). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. 11 other cards of Venomoth list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Jungle set binder is where a full Jungle set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Venomoth can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
