Seadra 19/116 · Plasma Freeze

Seadra is Pokédex #117, generation 1 (Kanto). Seadra is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Horsea. In this catalog that name is Horsea (#116). The card lists Kingdra, Kingdra (#230) under evolves to.

Seadra sits at 19/116 in Plasma Freeze, position 19 of 122. Before it is 18 Horsea, and after it is 20 Vaporeon. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on May 8, 2013. The printed size is 116. This checklist is longer, at 122 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Smokescreen lists 20 damage. The cost is Water. If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its spines provide protection. Its fins and bones are prized as traditional-medicine ingredients."

Seadra (#117) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Seadra 42/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this one. 15 other cards of Seadra list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kyoko Umemoto. I count 174 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Plasma Freeze set binder is where a full Plasma Freeze set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Seadra can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
