Simisear 20/135 · Plasma Storm

Plasma Storm is a set in the Black & White series. It was released on February 6, 2013. The printed size is 135. This checklist is longer, at 138 cards. Simisear is 20/135, in position 20 of 138 on this checklist. Before it is 19 Pansear, and after it is 21 Litwick. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Simisear is a Stage 1 Fire Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Simisear (#514), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Pansear. In this catalog that name is Pansear (#513).

Naoki Saito illustrated this card. The same name is on 270 other cards in the catalog.

Simisear (#514) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Simisear 22/114 in Black & White (2011). Both list 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Shin Nagasawa illustrated that card, and Naoki Saito illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 9 other cards of Simisear list a different HP.

The attack Searing Flame lists 20 damage. The cost is Fire. The Defending Pokémon is now Burned. Flame Blast is another attack lists 40+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Does 20 more damage for each Fire Energy attached to this Pokémon. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "When it gets excited, embers rise from its head and tail and it gets hot. For some reason, it loves sweets."

I keep a set binder for Plasma Storm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Plasma Storm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Simisear can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
