Ledian 15/144 · Skyridge

Ledian is Pokédex #166, generation 2 (Johto). Ledian is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Ledyba. In this catalog that name is Ledyba (#165).

Ledian sits at 15/144 in Skyridge, position 15 of 182. Before it is 14 Kabutops, and after it is 16 Machamp. The set belongs to the E-Card series. It was released on May 12, 2003. The printed size is 144. This checklist is longer, at 182 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Pollen Shield lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. During your opponent's next turn, Ledian can't become affected by a Special Condition. (Any other effects of attacks, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, and Trainer cards still happen.) Swift is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Grass, Grass, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, or any other effects on the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2.

Ledian (#166) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Ledian 39/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hikaru Koike illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Ledian list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hikaru Koike. I count 46 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Skyridge set binder is where a full Skyridge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ledian can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
