Espeon 48/116 · Plasma Freeze

Espeon is Pokédex #196, generation 2 (Johto). Espeon is a Stage 1 Team Plasma Psychic Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Eevee. In this catalog that name is Eevee (#133).

Espeon sits at 48/116 in Plasma Freeze, position 48 of 122. Before it is 47 Mr. Mime, and after it is 49 Sableye. 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 Psy Alert lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless. Draw cards until you have 6 cards in your hand. Shadow Ball is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic. This attack does 40 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. Also apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its fur is so sensitive, it can feel minute shifts in the air and predict the weather…and its foes' thoughts."

Espeon (#196) has 39 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 25 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Espeon 1/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 34 other cards of Espeon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 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. Espeon can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Eevee and the Eeveelutions. I still need this card.
