Typhlosion 64/165 · Expedition Base Set

Typhlosion is Pokédex #157, generation 2 (Johto). Typhlosion is a Stage 2 Fire Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Quilava. In this catalog that name is Quilava (#156).

Typhlosion sits at 64/165 in Expedition Base Set, position 64 of 165. Before it is 63 Skarmory, and after it is 65 Typhlosion. 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.

The attack Quick Attack lists 10+ damage. The cost is Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 20 more damage. Thermal Blast is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon, if any. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

Typhlosion (#157) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Typhlosion 17/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). Both list 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and Hiroaki Ito illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Typhlosion list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hiroaki Ito. I count 3 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. Typhlosion can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
