Gardevoir RC10/113 · 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. Gardevoir is RC10/113, in position 125 of 140 on this checklist. Before it is RC9 Kirlia, and after it is RC11 Meloetta-EX. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Gardevoir is a Stage 2 Psychic Pokémon with 120 HP. In the Pokédex this is Gardevoir (#282), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Kirlia. In this catalog that name is Kirlia (#281).

Atsuko Nishida illustrated this card. The same name is on 408 other cards in the catalog.

Gardevoir (#282) has 55 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 31 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Gardevoir 7/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 54 other cards of Gardevoir list a different HP.

The attack Psybeam lists 40 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Eternal Radiance is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic, Psychic. Move all damage counters from this Pokémon to the Defending Pokémon. This Pokémon can't use Eternal Radiance during your next turn. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "To protect its Trainer, it will expend all its psychic power to create a small black hole."

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. Gardevoir can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir, and Gallade and Atsuko Nishida cards, later series. I still need this card.
