Crystal Guardians

Cacturne δ 15/100 · Crystal Guardians

Cacturne δ, Crystal Guardians #15

Cacturne is Pokédex #332, generation 3 (Hoenn). Cacturne δ is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Cacnea. In this catalog that name is Cacnea (#331).

Cacturne δ sits at 15/100 in Crystal Guardians, position 15 of 100. Before it is 14 Blastoise, and after it is 16 Combusken. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on August 1, 2006. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

Spike Storm is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Cacturne is your Active Pokémon, you may put 1 damage counter on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon that already has any damage counters on it. This power can't be used if Cacturne is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Triple Needle lists no damage number. The cost is Fighting. Choose 3 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 10 damage to each of those Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Light Punch is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Cacturne (#332) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2023. The earliest other card is Cacturne 2/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card is named Cacturne, while this one is Cacturne δ. Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Cacturne list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Crystal Guardians set binder is where a full Crystal Guardians set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Cacturne can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Delta Species cards. I still need this card.
