Golduck 28/132 · Secret Wonders

Secret Wonders is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on November 1, 2007. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. Golduck is 28/132, in position 28 of 132 on this checklist. Before it is 27 Furret, and after it is 29 Golem. The listed rarity is Rare.

Golduck is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 39. In the Pokédex this is Golduck (#055), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Psyduck. In this catalog that name is Psyduck (#054).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Golduck (#055) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Golduck 35/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 19 other cards of Golduck list a different HP.

The attack Encore lists 20 damage. The cost is Psychic. Choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon's attacks. That Pokémon can use only that attack during your opponent's next turn. Break Beam is another attack lists 40+ damage. The cost is Water, Psychic. You may do 40 damage plus 20 more damage. If you do, Golduck is now Confused. Weakness is Lightning +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "A Pokémon that lives in lakes. It swims faster than any human swimming champion."

I keep a set binder for Secret Wonders, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Secret Wonders set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Golduck can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
