Luvdisc is Pokédex #370, generation 3 (Hoenn). Luvdisc is a Basic Water Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 28.

Luvdisc sits at 77/106 in Great Encounters, position 77 of 106. Before it is 76 Lunatone, and after it is 78 Makuhita. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on February 1, 2008. The printed size is 106, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Common.

The attack Rendezvous lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Reveal the top card of your deck and put it into your hand. If that card is a Pokémon, draw 2 cards. Synchro Dance is another attack lists 10+ damage. The cost is Water. If Luvdisc and the Defending Pokémon have the same amount of Energy attached to them, this attack does 10 damage plus 20 more damage. Weakness is Lightning +10. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It lives in warm seas. It is said that a couple finding this Pokémon will be blessed with eternal love."

Luvdisc (#370) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2023. The earliest other card is Luvdisc 40/101 in Hidden Legends (2004). Both list 60 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Common. Miki Tanaka illustrated that card, and Motofumi Fujiwara illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Luvdisc list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Motofumi Fujiwara. I count 18 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Great Encounters set binder is where a full Great Encounters set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Luvdisc can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
