Dragonair 75/165 · Expedition Base Set

Dragonair is Pokédex #148, generation 1 (Kanto). Dragonair is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Dratini. In this catalog that name is Dratini (#147). The card lists Dragonite, Dragonite (#149) under evolves to.

Dragonair sits at 75/165 in Expedition Base Set, position 75 of 165. Before it is 74 Croconaw, and after it is 76 Electabuzz. 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 Uncommon.

The attack Spiral Wave lists 20× damage. The cost is Lightning, Water. Flip a coin until you get tails. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads. Retreat cost is 2.

Dragonair (#148) has 28 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Dragonair 18/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 19 other cards of Dragonair list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 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. Dragonair can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
