Octillery 19/101 · Plasma Blast

Octillery is Pokédex #224, generation 2 (Johto). Octillery is a Stage 1 Team Plasma Water Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Remoraid. In this catalog that name is Remoraid (#223).

Octillery sits at 19/101 in Plasma Blast, position 19 of 105. Before it is 18 Remoraid, and after it is 20 Suicune. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on August 14, 2013. The printed size is 101. This checklist is longer, at 105 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Sharpshooting lists no damage number. The cost is Water. This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Bubble Beam is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Water, Water. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It has a tendency to want to be in holes. It prefers rock crags or pots and sprays ink from them before attacking."

Octillery (#224) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Octillery 34/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 16 other cards of Octillery list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Plasma Blast set binder is where a full Plasma Blast set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Octillery can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
