Espeon 48/108 · Dark Explorers

Espeon is Pokédex #196, generation 2 (Johto). Espeon is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Eevee. In this catalog that name is Eevee (#133).

Espeon sits at 48/108 in Dark Explorers, position 48 of 111. Before it is 47 Eelektross, and after it is 49 Slowking. 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.

Solar Revelation is listed as Ability. Prevent all effects of your opponent's attacks, except damage, done to each of your Pokémon that has any Energy attached to it. The attack Psy Report lists 60 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. Your opponent reveals his or her hand. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its fur is so sensitive, it can sense minute shifts in the air and predict the weather."

Espeon (#196) has 39 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 25 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Espeon 1/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Mizue illustrated this one. 34 other cards of Espeon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mizue. I count 184 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. Espeon can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Eevee and the Eeveelutions. I still need this card.
