Shedinja 11/97 · Dragon

Shedinja is Pokédex #292, generation 3 (Hoenn). Shedinja is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 30 HP. The card says it evolves from Nincada. In this catalog that name is Nincada (#290).

Shedinja sits at 11/97 in Dragon, position 11 of 100. Before it is 10 Salamence, and after it is 12 Torkoal. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on November 24, 2003. The printed size is 97. This checklist is longer, at 100 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Wonder Guard is listed as Poké-Body. Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Shedinja by your opponent's Evolved Pokémon and Pokémon-ex. The attack Damage Curse lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Put 1 damage counter, plus 1 more damage counter for each damage counter on Shedinja, on the Defending Pokémon. Retreat cost is 1.

Shedinja (#292) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2005 to 2025. The earliest other card is Shedinja 14/107 in Deoxys (2005). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 30 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Yukiko Baba illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 7 other cards of Shedinja list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Dragon set binder is where a full Dragon set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Shedinja can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
