Base Set 2

Clefable 5/130 · Base Set 2

Clefable is Pokédex #036, generation 1 (Kanto). Clefable is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 34. The card says it evolves from Clefairy. In this catalog that name is Clefairy (#035).

Clefable sits at 5/130 in Base Set 2, position 5 of 130. Before it is 4 Charizard, and after it is 6 Clefairy. The set belongs to the Base series. It was released on February 24, 2000. The printed size is 130, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Metronome lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon's attacks. Metronome copies that attack except for its Energy costs and anything else required in order to use that attack, such as discarding Energy cards. (No matter what type the Defending Pokémon is, Clefable's type is still Colorless.) Minimize is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. All damage done by attacks to Clefable during your opponent's next turn is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -30. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "A timid Fairy Pokémon that is rarely seen. It will run and hide the moment it senses people."

Clefable (#036) has 28 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 24 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Clefable 1/64 in Jungle (1999). Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. 23 other cards of Clefable list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Base Set 2 set binder is where a full Base Set 2 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Clefable can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
