Minun 40/108 · Dark Explorers

Minun is Pokédex #312, generation 3 (Hoenn). Minun is a Basic Lightning Pokémon with 60 HP.

Minun sits at 40/108 in Dark Explorers, position 40 of 111. Before it is 39 Plusle, and after it is 41 Joltik. 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 Common.

The attack Negative Ion lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. During your opponent's next turn, any damage done by attacks from the Defending Pokémon is reduced by 30 (before applying Weakness and Resistance). Electrishower is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Lightning. This attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It cheers on friends. If its friends are losing, its body lets off more and more sparks."

Minun (#312) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2023. The earliest other card is Minun 7/97 in Dragon (2003). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Common. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Naoki Saito illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Minun list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoki Saito. I count 270 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. Minun can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
