Manaphy 34/135 · Plasma Storm

Manaphy is Pokédex #490, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Manaphy is a Basic Water Pokémon with 70 HP.

Manaphy sits at 34/135 in Plasma Storm, position 34 of 138. Before it is 33 Sharpedo, and after it is 35 Vanillite. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on February 6, 2013. The printed size is 135. This checklist is longer, at 138 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Final Wish is listed as Ability. When this Pokémon is Knocked Out by damage from an opponent's attack, search your deck for a card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. The attack Seafaring lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Flip 3 coins. For each heads, attach a Water Energy card from your discard pile to your Benched Pokémon in any way you like. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It is born with a wondrous power that lets it bond with any kind of Pokémon."

Manaphy (#490) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2023. The earliest other card is Manaphy 9/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and Naoki Saito illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Manaphy list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoki Saito. I count 270 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Plasma Storm set binder is where a full Plasma Storm set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Manaphy can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
