Vigoroth 68/123 · Mysterious Treasures

Vigoroth is Pokédex #288, generation 3 (Hoenn). Vigoroth is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 24. The card says it evolves from Slakoth. In this catalog that name is Slakoth (#287). The card lists Slaking, Slaking (#289) under evolves to.

Vigoroth sits at 68/123 in Mysterious Treasures, position 68 of 124. Before it is 67 Unown [T], and after it is 69 Abra. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on August 1, 2007. The printed size is 123. This checklist is longer, at 124 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Wake-up Punch lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. If Vigoroth evolved from Slakoth during this turn and Slakoth was Asleep, this attack's base damage is 60 instead of 10. Fury Swipes is another attack lists 30× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 3 coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fighting +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its heart beats at a tenfold tempo, so it cannot sit still even for a moment."

Vigoroth (#288) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2024. The earliest other card is Vigoroth 47/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Vigoroth list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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