Ludicolo 7/100 · Sandstorm

Ludicolo is Pokédex #272, generation 3 (Hoenn). Ludicolo is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Lombre. In this catalog that name is Lombre (#271).

Ludicolo sits at 7/100 in Sandstorm, position 7 of 100. Before it is 6 Jolteon, and after it is 8 Lunatone. 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 Holo.

Rain Dish is listed as Poké-Body. At any time between turns, remove 1 damage counter from Ludicolo. The attack Hydro Punch lists 50+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Does 50 damage plus 10 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Ludicolo but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 20 damage in this way. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

Ludicolo (#272) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ludicolo 20/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 15 other cards of Ludicolo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Tomokazu Komiya. I count 248 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. Ludicolo can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
