Kricketune 4/99 · Next Destinies

Next Destinies is a set in the Black & White series. It was released on February 8, 2012. The printed size is 99. This checklist is longer, at 103 cards. Kricketune is 4/99, in position 4 of 103 on this checklist. Before it is 3 Kricketot, and after it is 5 Shaymin-EX. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Kricketune is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Kricketune (#402), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Kricketot. In this catalog that name is Kricketot (#401).

Naoyo Kimura illustrated this card. The same name is on 256 other cards in the catalog.

Kricketune (#402) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2023. The earliest other card is Kricketune 27/123 in Mysterious Treasures (2007). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 6 other cards of Kricketune list a different HP.

The attack White Noise lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Asleep. Draining Cut is another attack lists 40× damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads. Heal from this Pokémon the same amount of damage you did to the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "There is a village that hosts a contest based on the amazingly variable cries of this Pokémon."

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