Seaking 21/109 · Ruby & Sapphire

Ruby & Sapphire is a set in the EX series. It was released on July 1, 2003. The printed size is 109, and the checklist is the same length. Seaking is 21/109, in position 21 of 109 on this checklist. Before it is 20 Sceptile, and after it is 22 Sharpedo. The listed rarity is Rare.

Seaking is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Seaking (#119), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Goldeen. In this catalog that name is Goldeen (#118).

Hajime Kusajima illustrated this card. The same name is on 206 other cards in the catalog.

Seaking (#119) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Seaking 46/64 in Jungle (1999). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Seaking list a different HP.

The attack Water Arrow lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 20 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Fast Stream is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Move 1 Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon to the other Defending Pokémon. (Ignore this effect if your opponent has only 1 Defending Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2.

I keep a set binder for Ruby & Sapphire, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Ruby & Sapphire set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Seaking can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
