Escavalier 80/101 · Noble Victories

Escavalier is Pokédex #589, generation 5 (Unova). Escavalier is a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Karrablast. In this catalog that name is Karrablast (#588).

Escavalier sits at 80/101 in Noble Victories, position 80 of 102. Before it is 79 Hydreigon, and after it is 81 Pawniard. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on November 16, 2011. The printed size is 101. This checklist is longer, at 102 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Guard Press lists 40 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless. During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to this Pokémon by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Twineedle is another attack lists 70× damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 70 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "These Pokémon evolve by wearing the shell covering of a Shelmet. The steel armor protects their whole body."

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 2012 to 2025. The earliest other card is Escavalier 74/108 in Dark Explorers (2012). Both list 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Masakazu Fukuda illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Escavalier list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Noble Victories set binder is where a full Noble Victories set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Escavalier can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
