Fraxure 14/20 · Dragon Vault

Fraxure is Pokédex #611, generation 5 (Unova). Fraxure is a Stage 1 Dragon Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Axew. In this catalog that name is Axew (#610). The card lists Haxorus, Haxorus (#612) under evolves to.

Fraxure sits at 14/20 in Dragon Vault, position 14 of 21. Before it is 13 Axew, and after it is 15 Fraxure. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on October 5, 2012. The printed size is 20. This checklist is longer, at 21 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Grit is listed as Ability. If this Pokémon is affected by a Special Condition, each of its attacks does 40 more damage (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Dragon Claw lists 60 damage. The cost is Fighting, Metal, Colorless. Weakness is Dragon ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Since a broken tusk will not grow back, they diligently sharpen their tusks on river rocks after they've been fighting."

Fraxure (#611) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Fraxure 87/101 in Noble Victories (2011). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 10 other cards of Fraxure list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shin Nagasawa. I count 303 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Dragon Vault set binder is where a full Dragon Vault set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Fraxure can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
