Kirlia 35/109 · Ruby & Sapphire

Kirlia is Pokédex #281, generation 3 (Hoenn). Kirlia is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Ralts. In this catalog that name is Ralts (#280). The card lists Gardevoir, Gardevoir (#282) and Gallade, Gallade (#475) under evolves to.

Kirlia sits at 35/109 in Ruby & Sapphire, position 35 of 109. Before it is 34 Kirlia, and after it is 36 Lairon. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on July 1, 2003. The printed size is 109, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Kirlia (#281) has 31 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 26 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Kirlia 34/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 23 other cards of Kirlia list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsuko Nishida. I count 408 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Ruby & Sapphire set binder is where a full Ruby & Sapphire set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kirlia can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
