Dusknoir 104/101 · Plasma Blast

Plasma Blast is a set in the Black & White series. It was released on August 14, 2013. The printed size is 101. This checklist is longer, at 105 cards. Dusknoir is 104/101, in position 104 of 105 on this checklist. Before it is 103 Virizion, and after it is 105 Rare Candy. The collector number is above the printed set size of 101. The listed rarity is Rare Secret.

Dusknoir is a Stage 2 Psychic Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Dusknoir (#477), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Dusclops. In this catalog that name is Dusclops (#356).

Ayaka Yoshida illustrated this card. The same name is on 128 other cards in the catalog.

Dusknoir (#477) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2025. The earliest other card is Dusknoir 2/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Secret. Takabon illustrated that card, and Ayaka Yoshida illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Dusknoir list a different HP.

Sinister Hand is listed as Ability. As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move 1 damage counter from 1 of your opponent's Pokémon to another of your opponent's Pokémon. The attack Shadow Punch lists 60 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance. Weakness is Darkness ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "This extremely rare Pokémon is a different color than usual. It is very hard to find."

I keep a set binder for Plasma Blast, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Plasma Blast set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Dusknoir can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
