Gastrodon East Sea 8/132 · 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. Gastrodon East Sea is 8/132, in position 8 of 132 on this checklist. Before it is 7 Gardevoir, and after it is 9 Gastrodon West Sea. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Gastrodon East Sea is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 100 HP. The card lists level 43. In the Pokédex this is Gastrodon (#423), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Shellos East Sea. In this catalog that name is Shellos (#422).

Kazuyuki Kano illustrated this card. The same name is on 26 other cards in the catalog.

Gastrodon (#423) has 7 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 6 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2024. The earliest other card is Gastrodon West Sea 9/132 in Secret Wonders (2007). That card is named Gastrodon West Sea, while this one is Gastrodon East Sea. Both list 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. 6 other cards of Gastrodon list a different HP.

Osmotic Pressure is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if you have Gastrodon West Sea in play, you may move up to 3 damage counters from Gastrodon East Sea to 1 of your Gastrodon West Sea. The attack Dwindling Wave lists 80- damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Does 80 damage minus 10 damage for each damage counter on Gastrodon East Sea. Weakness is Grass +30. Resistance is Lightning -20. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "It has a pliable body without any bones. If any part of its body is torn off, it grows right back."

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. Gastrodon can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
