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. Escavalier is 61/101, in position 61 of 105 on this checklist. Before it is 60 Jirachi-EX, and after it is 62 Bagon. The listed rarity is Rare.

Escavalier is a Stage 1 Team Plasma Metal Pokémon with 100 HP. In the Pokédex this is Escavalier (#589), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Karrablast. In this catalog that name is Karrablast (#588).

5ban Graphics illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,629 other cards in the catalog.

Escavalier (#589) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Escavalier 80/101 in Noble Victories (2011). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Escavalier list a different HP.

The attack Steamroll lists 40 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless. Does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Slashing Strike is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. This Pokémon can't use Slashing Strike during your next turn. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Wearing the shell covering they stole from Shelmet, they defend themselves and attack with two lances."

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. Escavalier can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
