Deoxys-EX BW82/101 · BW Black Star Promos

Deoxys is Pokédex #386, generation 3 (Hoenn). Deoxys-EX is a Basic EX Team Plasma Psychic Pokémon with 170 HP.

Deoxys-EX sits at BW82/101 in BW Black Star Promos, position 82 of 101. Before it is BW81 Thundurus-EX, and after it is BW83 Lugia-EX. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on March 1, 2011. The printed size is 101, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Promo.

Power Connect is listed as Ability. Your Team Plasma Pokémon's attacks (excluding Deoxys-EX) do 10 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Helix Force lists 30+ damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. If this Pokémon has any Plasma Energy attached to it, this attack does 30 more damage for each Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: Pokémon-EX rule: When a Pokémon-EX has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Deoxys (#386) has 44 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2005 to 2026. The earliest other card is Deoxys 16/107 in Deoxys (2005). That card is named Deoxys, while this one is Deoxys-EX. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 170 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Promo. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Eske Yoshinob illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 42 other cards of Deoxys list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Eske Yoshinob. I count 177 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

BW Black Star Promos set binder is where a full BW Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Deoxys can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
