Swanna 37/114 · Black & White

Swanna is Pokédex #581, generation 5 (Unova). Swanna is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Ducklett. In this catalog that name is Ducklett (#580).

Swanna sits at 37/114 in Black & White, position 37 of 115. Before it is 36 Ducklett, and after it is 38 Alomomola. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on April 25, 2011. The printed size is 114. This checklist is longer, at 115 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Feather Dance lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. During your next turn, each of this Pokémon's attacks does 40 more damage (before applying Weakness and Resistance). Aqua Ring is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Swanna start to dance at dusk. The one dancing in the middle is the leader of the flock."

Swanna (#581) has 11 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Swanna 27/98 in Emerging Powers (2011). Both list 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Swanna list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoyo Kimura. I count 256 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Black & White set binder is where a full Black & White set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Swanna can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
