Gliscor DP36/56 · DP Black Star Promos

DP Black Star Promos is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on May 1, 2007. The printed size is 56, and the checklist is the same length. Gliscor is DP36/56, in position 36 of 56 on this checklist. Before it is DP35 Porygon-Z, and after it is DP37 Dialga LV.X. The listed rarity is Promo.

Gliscor is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 47. In the Pokédex this is Gliscor (#472), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Gligar. In this catalog that name is Gligar (#207).

Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 other cards in the catalog.

Gliscor (#472) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2025. The earliest other card is Gliscor 5/146 in Legends Awakened (2008). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. Kent Kanetsuna illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Gliscor list a different HP.

Bind Eye is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Gliscor is your Active Pokémon, your opponent can't remove any Special Conditions by evolving or devolving his or her Pokémon. (This also includes putting a Pokémon Level-Up card onto that Pokémon.) The attack Cutting Turn lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, put damage counters on the Defending Pokémon until it is 10HP away from being Knocked Out. If you do, shuffle Gliscor and all cards attached to it back into your deck. Friction Heat is another attack lists 20 damage. The cost is Fighting. The Defending Pokémon is now Burned. Weakness is Water +20. Resistance is Fighting -20.

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