Tangrowth 2/113 · Legendary Treasures

Legendary Treasures is a set in the Black & White series. It was released on November 6, 2013. The printed size is 113. This checklist is longer, at 140 cards. Tangrowth is 2/113, in position 2 of 140 on this checklist. Before it is 1 Tangela, and after it is 3 Shuckle. The listed rarity is Rare.

Tangrowth is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 120 HP. In the Pokédex this is Tangrowth (#465), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Tangela. In this catalog that name is Tangela (#114).

Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 other cards in the catalog.

Tangrowth (#465) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2025. The earliest other card is Tangrowth 10/106 in Great Encounters (2008). That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kent Kanetsuna illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 4. 15 other cards of Tangrowth list a different HP.

The attack Bind Down lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass. The Defending Pokémon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn. Flog is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Grass, Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 more damage. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Water -20. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "Even if one of its arms is eaten, it's fine. The Pokémon regenerates quickly and will go right back to normal."

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