Pidgeot 59/165 · Expedition Base Set

Pidgeot is Pokédex #018, generation 1 (Kanto). Pidgeot is a Stage 2 Colorless Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Pidgeotto. In this catalog that name is Pidgeotto (#017).

Pidgeot sits at 59/165 in Expedition Base Set, position 59 of 165. Before it is 58 Pichu, and after it is 60 Poliwrath. The set belongs to the E-Card series. It was released on September 15, 2002. The printed size is 165, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

Beating Wings is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Pidgeot is your Active Pokémon, you may shuffle 1 of your Benched Pokémon and all cards attached to it into your deck. This power can't be used if Pidgeot is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Sharp Beak lists 20+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 30 more damage. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30.

Pidgeot (#018) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Pidgeot 8/64 in Jungle (1999). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 19 other cards of Pidgeot list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Tomokazu Komiya. I count 248 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Expedition Base Set set binder is where a full Expedition Base Set set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pidgeot can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
