Lairon 36/100 · Crystal Guardians
Crystal Guardians is a set in the EX series. It was released on August 1, 2006. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. Lairon is 36/100, in position 36 of 100 on this checklist. Before it is 35 Ivysaur, and after it is 37 Lombre. The listed rarity is Uncommon.
Lairon is a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Lairon (#305), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Aron. In this catalog that name is Aron (#304). The card lists Aggron, Aggron (#306) under evolves to.
Hajime Kusajima illustrated this card. The same name is on 206 other cards in the catalog.
Lairon (#305) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2024. The earliest other card is Lairon 36/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Lairon list a different HP.
The attack Roar lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Your opponent switches the Defending Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon, if any. Metal Charge is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. Put 1 damage counter on Lairon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 2.
I keep a set binder for Crystal Guardians, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Crystal Guardians set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lairon can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
