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. Lunatone is 76/106, in position 76 of 106 on this checklist. Before it is 75 Krabby, and after it is 77 Luvdisc. The listed rarity is Common.

Lunatone is a Basic Fighting Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 31. In the Pokédex this is Lunatone (#337), generation 3 (Hoenn).

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

Lunatone (#337) 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 2026. The earliest other card is Lunatone 8/100 in Sandstorm (2003). Both list 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Common. Hajime Kusajima illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Lunatone list a different HP.

Gravity Change is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard a card from your hand. Then, if you have Solrock in play, draw a card. This power can't be used if Lunatone is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Knock Over lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless. You may discard any Stadium card in play. Weakness is Psychic +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Because it turns active on nights of the full moon, it is said to have some link to the lunar phases."

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