Glaceon BW90/101 · BW Black Star Promos

BW Black Star Promos is a set in the Black & White series. It was released on March 1, 2011. The printed size is 101, and the checklist is the same length. Glaceon is BW90/101, in position 90 of 101 on this checklist. Before it is BW89 Vaporeon, and after it is BW91 Jolteon. The listed rarity is Promo.

Glaceon is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Glaceon (#471), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Eevee. In this catalog that name is Eevee (#133).

The Pokémon Company Art Team illustrated this card. The same name is on 15 other cards in the catalog.

Glaceon (#471) has 31 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2025. The earliest other card is Glaceon 5/100 in Majestic Dawn (2008). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and The Pokémon Company Art Team illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Glaceon list a different HP.

The attack Quick Attack lists 10+ damage. The cost is Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 more damage. Reflect Energy is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Move an Energy from this Pokémon to 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "By controlling its body heat, it can freeze the atmosphere around it to make a diamond-dust flurry."

I keep a set binder for BW Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the BW Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Glaceon can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Eevee and the Eeveelutions. I still need this card.
