Dragonite 4/62 · Fossil

Dragonite is Pokédex #149, generation 1 (Kanto). Dragonite is a Stage 2 Colorless Pokémon with 100 HP. The card lists level 45. The card says it evolves from Dragonair. In this catalog that name is Dragonair (#148).

Dragonite sits at 4/62 in Fossil, position 4 of 62. Before it is 3 Ditto, and after it is 5 Gengar. The set belongs to the Base series. It was released on October 10, 1999. The printed size is 62, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Step In is listed as Pokémon Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Dragonite is on your Bench, you may switch it with your Active Pokémon. The attack Slam lists 40× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads. Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "An extremely rarely seen marine Pokémon. Its intelligence is said to match that of humans."

Dragonite (#149) has 48 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 30 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Dragonite 5/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Toshinao Aoki illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 42 other cards of Dragonite list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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