Vanilluxe 37/135 · 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. Vanilluxe is 37/135, in position 37 of 138 on this checklist. Before it is 36 Vanillish, and after it is 38 Frillish. The listed rarity is Rare.

Vanilluxe is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Vanilluxe (#584), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Vanillish. In this catalog that name is Vanillish (#583).

Shin Nagasawa illustrated this card. The same name is on 303 other cards in the catalog.

Vanilluxe (#584) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Vanilluxe 29/101 in Noble Victories (2011). Both list 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 6 other cards of Vanilluxe list a different HP.

The attack Enefountain lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless. Attach 2 basic Energy cards from your hand to 1 of your Pokémon. Blizzard is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless. Does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Swallowing large amounts of water, they make snow clouds inside their bodies and, when angry, cause violent blizzards."

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. Vanilluxe can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
