Crobat 6/144 · Skyridge

Crobat is Pokédex #169, generation 2 (Johto). Crobat is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Golbat. In this catalog that name is Golbat (#042).

Crobat sits at 6/144 in Skyridge, position 6 of 182. Before it is 5 Beedrill, and after it is 7 Dewgong. 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.

Carry Off is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, look at your opponent's hand. If your opponent has any Baby Pokémon, Basic Pokémon, or Evolution cards there, choose 1 of them. Your opponent shuffles that card into his or her deck. This power can't be used if Crobat is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Double Cross lists 40× damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads. If both of them are tails, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused and Poisoned. Weakness is Psychic ×2.

Crobat (#169) has 37 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Crobat 4/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and Kimiya Masago illustrated this one. 32 other cards of Crobat list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kimiya Masago. I count 24 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. Crobat can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
