Dustox 6/109 · Ruby & Sapphire

Dustox is Pokédex #269, generation 3 (Hoenn). Dustox is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Cascoon. In this catalog that name is Cascoon (#268).

Dustox sits at 6/109 in Ruby & Sapphire, position 6 of 109. Before it is 5 Delcatty, and after it is 7 Gardevoir. 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 Rare Holo.

Protective Dust is listed as Poké-Body. Prevent all effects of attacks, except damage, done to Dustox by the Attacking Pokémon. The attack Toxic lists no damage number. The cost is Grass, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 2 damage counters instead of 1 on the Defending Pokémon between turns. Gust is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Psychic ×2.

Dustox (#269) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2006 to 2026. The earliest other card is Dustox ex 86/92 in Legend Maker (2006). That card is named Dustox ex, while this one is Dustox. That card lists 140 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo EX, and here it is Rare Holo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Midori Harada illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Dustox list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Midori Harada. I count 352 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. Dustox can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
