Golem 29/132 · Secret Wonders

Golem is Pokédex #076, generation 1 (Kanto). Golem is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 130 HP. The card lists level 52. The card says it evolves from Graveler. In this catalog that name is Graveler (#075).

Golem sits at 29/132 in Secret Wonders, position 29 of 132. Before it is 28 Golduck, and after it is 30 Jynx. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on November 1, 2007. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Double Throw lists no damage number. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. Choose 2 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to each of them. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Megaton Rock is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. You may do 40 damage instead of 80 to the Defending Pokémon. If you do, during your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Golem by attacks is reduced by 40 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Weakness is Grass +30. Resistance is Lightning -20. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "It sheds its hide once a year. Its boulderlike body is so tough, even dynamite can't harm it."

Golem (#076) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Golem 36/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. 25 other cards of Golem list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoyo Kimura. I count 256 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Secret Wonders set binder is where a full Secret Wonders set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Golem can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
