Gardevoir 7/109 · 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. Gardevoir is 7/109, in position 7 of 109 on this checklist. Before it is 6 Dustox, and after it is 8 Hariyama. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Gardevoir is a Stage 2 Psychic Pokémon with 100 HP. In the Pokédex this is Gardevoir (#282), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Kirlia. In this catalog that name is Kirlia (#281).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Gardevoir (#282) has 55 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 31 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Gardevoir ex 96/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card is named Gardevoir ex, while this one is Gardevoir. That card lists 150 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo EX, and here it is Rare Holo. Hikaru Koike illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 52 other cards of Gardevoir list a different HP.

Psy Shadow is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for a Psychic Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Pokémon. Put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon. Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Gardevoir is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Energy Burst lists 10× damage. The cost is Psychic. Does 10 damage times the total amount of Energy attached to Gardevoir and the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Psychic ×2. 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. Gardevoir can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
