Pelipper δ 26/100 · Crystal Guardians

Pelipper is Pokédex #279, generation 3 (Hoenn). Pelipper δ is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Wingull. In this catalog that name is Wingull (#278).

Pelipper δ sits at 26/100 in Crystal Guardians, position 26 of 100. Before it is 25 Medicham, and after it is 27 Swampert. 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.

Delta Transport is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Pelipper is on your Bench, you may switch 1 of your Active Pokémon that has δ on its card with 1 of your Benched Pokémon.

Pelipper (#279) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Pelipper 19/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card is named Pelipper, while this one is Pelipper δ. Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Pelipper list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 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. Pelipper 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.
