Mamoswine 9/146 · Legends Awakened

Legends Awakened is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on August 1, 2008. The printed size is 146, and the checklist is the same length. Mamoswine is 9/146, in position 9 of 146 on this checklist. Before it is 8 Luxray, and after it is 10 Metagross. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Mamoswine is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 140 HP. The card lists level 54. In the Pokédex this is Mamoswine (#473), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Piloswine. In this catalog that name is Piloswine (#221).

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

Mamoswine (#473) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2025. The earliest other card is Mamoswine 21/100 in Stormfront (2008). Both list 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. Kent Kanetsuna illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 5, and here it is 4. 8 other cards of Mamoswine list a different HP.

The attack Ice Fang lists 40 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon. Charge Through is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. You may do 60 damage plus 40 more damage and 40 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If you do, Mamoswine does 40 damage to itself. Weakness is Metal +40. Resistance is Lightning -20. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "Its impressive tusks are made of ice. The population thinned when it turned warm after the ice age."

I keep a set binder for Legends Awakened, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legends Awakened set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Mamoswine can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
