Seviper 52/106 · 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. Seviper is 52/106, in position 52 of 106 on this checklist. Before it is 51 Relicanth, and after it is 53 Skarmory. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Seviper is a Basic Psychic Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 26. In the Pokédex this is Seviper (#336), generation 3 (Hoenn).

Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this card. The same name is on 471 other cards in the catalog.

Seviper (#336) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Seviper 11/100 in Sandstorm (2003). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Hajime Kusajima illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Seviper list a different HP.

The attack Tail Blade lists 20 damage. The cost is Psychic. Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent can't play any Trainer cards from his or her hand during your opponent's next turn. Poison Tail is another attack lists 30+ damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage plus 30 more damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Weakness is Psychic +20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "For many generations, it has feuded with ZANGOOSE. It whets its bladed tail on rocks for battle."

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. Seviper can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
