Haxorus 69/101 · 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. Haxorus is 69/101, in position 69 of 105 on this checklist. Before it is 68 Fraxure, and after it is 70 Druddigon. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Haxorus is a Stage 2 Dragon Pokémon with 140 HP. In the Pokédex this is Haxorus (#612), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Fraxure. In this catalog that name is Fraxure (#611).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

Haxorus (#612) has 10 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 Haxorus BW57/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). Both list 140 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. kawayoo illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 6 other cards of Haxorus list a different HP.

The attack Dragonaxe lists 40× damage. The cost is Metal. Does 40 damage times the amount of Metal Energy attached to this Pokémon. Strike of the Champion is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Fighting, Metal. If the Defending Pokémon is a Team Plasma Pokémon, it is Knocked Out. (If the Defending Pokémon is not a Team Plasma Pokémon, this attack does nothing.) Weakness is Dragon ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Its tusks are incredibly destructive. They can easily slice through a thick, sturdy steel column every time."

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