Lombre 37/100 · Crystal Guardians

Lombre is Pokédex #271, generation 3 (Hoenn). Lombre is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Lotad. In this catalog that name is Lotad (#270). The card lists Ludicolo, Ludicolo (#272) under evolves to.

Lombre sits at 37/100 in Crystal Guardians, position 37 of 100. Before it is 36 Lairon, and after it is 38 Marshtomp. 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 Uncommon.

Lombre (#271) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Lombre 45/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Lombre list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 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. Lombre can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
