Lairon 36/109 · 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. Lairon is 36/109, in position 36 of 109 on this checklist. Before it is 35 Kirlia, and after it is 37 Lairon. The listed rarity is Uncommon.
Lairon is a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Lairon (#305), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Aron. In this catalog that name is Aron (#304). The card lists Aggron, Aggron (#306) under evolves to.
Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.
Lairon (#305) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2024. The earliest other card is Lairon 37/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 18 other cards of Lairon list a different HP.
The attack Ram lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Metal Claw is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 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. Lairon can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
