Crobat 55/135 · 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. Crobat is 55/135, in position 55 of 138 on this checklist. Before it is 54 Golbat, and after it is 56 Koffing. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Crobat is a Stage 2 Team Plasma Psychic Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Crobat (#169), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Golbat. In this catalog that name is Golbat (#042).

5ban Graphics illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,629 other cards in the catalog.

Crobat (#169) has 37 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 26 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Crobat 4/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 25 other cards of Crobat list a different HP.

Night Sight is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may draw a card. The attack Ultra-Toxic Fang lists 40 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 4 damage counters instead of 1 on this Pokémon between turns. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. The flavor text reads "Having four wings allows it to fly more quickly and quietly so it can sneak up on prey without its noticing."

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. Crobat can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
