Ludicolo 2/18 · Detective Pikachu

Ludicolo is Pokédex #272, generation 3 (Hoenn). Ludicolo is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 140 HP. The card says it evolves from Lombre. In this catalog that name is Lombre (#271).

Ludicolo sits at 2/18 in Detective Pikachu, position 2 of 18. Before it is 1 Bulbasaur, and after it is 3 Morelull. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on April 5, 2019. The printed size is 18, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

Table Service is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may heal 30 damage from 1 of your Pokémon. The attack Punch and Run lists 70 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "If it hears festive music, all its muscles fill with energy. It can't help breaking out into a dance."

Ludicolo (#272) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ludicolo 7/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Framestore illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 13 other cards of Ludicolo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Framestore. I count 10 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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