Typhlosion 17/115 · Unseen Forces

Typhlosion is Pokédex #157, generation 2 (Johto). Typhlosion is a Stage 2 Fire Pokémon with 110 HP. The card says it evolves from Quilava. In this catalog that name is Quilava (#156).

Typhlosion sits at 17/115 in Unseen Forces, position 19 of 145. Before it is 16 Sunflora, and after it is 18 Ursaring. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on August 1, 2005. The printed size is 115. This checklist is longer, at 145 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Burning Aura is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Typhlosion is your Active Pokémon, put 1 damage counter on each Active Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's) between turns. The attack Flickering Flames lists 20 damage. The cost is Fire. The Defending Pokémon is now Asleep. Rage is another attack lists 50+ damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless, Colorless. Does 50 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on Typhlosion. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Typhlosion (#157) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Typhlosion 17/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 24 other cards of Typhlosion list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hajime Kusajima. I count 206 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Unseen Forces set binder is where a full Unseen Forces set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Typhlosion can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
