Vaporeon 25/100 · Sandstorm

Vaporeon is Pokédex #134, generation 1 (Kanto). Vaporeon is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Eevee. In this catalog that name is Eevee (#133).

Vaporeon sits at 25/100 in Sandstorm, position 25 of 100. Before it is 24 Umbreon, and after it is 26 Wobbuffet. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on September 18, 2003. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Aurora Beam lists 30 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Aqua Sonic is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. This attack's damage is not affected by Resistance. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Vaporeon (#134) has 36 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Vaporeon 12/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. 30 other cards of Vaporeon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hajime Kusajima. I count 206 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Sandstorm set binder is where a full Sandstorm set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Vaporeon can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Eevee and the Eeveelutions. I still need this card.
