Watchog 79/114 · Black & White

Watchog is Pokédex #505, generation 5 (Unova). Watchog is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Patrat. In this catalog that name is Patrat (#504).

Watchog sits at 79/114 in Black & White, position 79 of 115. Before it is 78 Patrat, and after it is 80 Lillipup. 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 Uncommon.

The attack Confuse Ray lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Hyper Fang is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "They make the patterns on their bodies shine in order to threaten predators. Keen eyesight lets them see in the dark."

Watchog (#505) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 7 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Watchog 79/98 in Emerging Powers (2011). Both list 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. MAHOU illustrated that card, and match illustrated this one. 3 other cards of Watchog list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads match. I count 143 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. Watchog can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
