Cacturne 27/108 · Power Keepers

Power Keepers is a set in the EX series. It was released on February 2, 2007. The printed size is 108, and the checklist is the same length. Cacturne is 27/108, in position 27 of 108 on this checklist. Before it is 26 Anorith, and after it is 28 Charmeleon. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Cacturne is a Stage 1 Darkness Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Cacturne (#332), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Cacnea. In this catalog that name is Cacnea (#331).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

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 lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Cacturne list a different HP.

Poison Structure is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Sidney's Stadium is in play, you may choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon. That Pokémon is now Poisoned. This power can't be used if Cacturne is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Pin Missile lists 20× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 4 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -30. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Power Keepers, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Power Keepers set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Cacturne can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
