Linoone 43/106 · Great Encounters

Great Encounters is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on February 1, 2008. The printed size is 106, and the checklist is the same length. Linoone is 43/106, in position 43 of 106 on this checklist. Before it is 42 Huntail, and after it is 44 Loudred. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Linoone is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 24. In the Pokédex this is Linoone (#264), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Zigzagoon. In this catalog that name is Zigzagoon (#263).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

Linoone (#264) 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 2026. The earliest other card is Linoone 38/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Linoone list a different HP.

The attack Switcheroo lists no damage number. Move a Pokémon Tool card attached to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon to another of your opponent's Pokémon (excluding Pokémon that already has a Pokémon Tool attached to it). (If an effect of this attack is prevented, this attack does nothing.) Overrun is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting +20. The flavor text reads "It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails."

I keep a set binder for Great Encounters, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Great Encounters set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Linoone can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
