Suicune is Pokédex #245, generation 2 (Johto). Suicune is a Basic Water Pokémon with 100 HP.

Suicune sits at 20/101 in Plasma Blast, position 20 of 105. Before it is 19 Octillery, and after it is 21 Snorunt. 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 Rare.

Safeguard is listed as Ability. Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokémon by Pokémon-EX. The attack Aurora Beam lists 70 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It races around the world to purify fouled water. It dashes away with the north wind."

Suicune (#245) has 30 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Suicune 53/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 28 other cards of Suicune list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kawayoo. I count 209 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. Suicune can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
