Kadabra 84/165 · Expedition Base Set

Kadabra is Pokédex #064, generation 1 (Kanto). Kadabra is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Abra. In this catalog that name is Abra (#063). The card lists Alakazam, Alakazam (#065) under evolves to.

Kadabra sits at 84/165 in Expedition Base Set, position 84 of 165. Before it is 83 Jynx, and after it is 85 Machoke. 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 Energy Recall lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Attach 2 basic Energy cards from your discard pile to Kadabra (1 if you have only 1). Confuse Ray is another attack lists 20 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Kadabra (#064) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Kadabra 32/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 1. 8 other cards of Kadabra list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hajime Kusajima. I count 206 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. Kadabra can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
