Accelgor 11/108 · Dark Explorers

Accelgor is Pokédex #617, generation 5 (Unova). Accelgor is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Shelmet. In this catalog that name is Shelmet (#616).

Accelgor sits at 11/108 in Dark Explorers, position 11 of 111. Before it is 10 Shelmet, and after it is 12 Flareon. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on May 9, 2012. The printed size is 108. This checklist is longer, at 111 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Hammer In lists 20 damage. The cost is Grass. Deck and Cover is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned. Shuffle this Pokémon and all cards attached to it into your deck. Weakness is Fire ×2. The flavor text reads "When its body dries out, it weakens. So, to prevent dehydration, it wraps itself in many layers of thin membrane."

Accelgor (#617) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Accelgor 12/101 in Noble Victories (2011). Both list 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Accelgor list a different HP.

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

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