Skarmory, Dragon #21

Dragon is a set in the EX series. It was released on November 24, 2003. The printed size is 97. This checklist is longer, at 100 cards. Skarmory is 21/97, in position 21 of 100 on this checklist. Before it is 20 Shelgon, and after it is 22 Vibrava. The listed rarity is Rare.

Skarmory is a Basic Metal Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Skarmory (#227), generation 2 (Johto).

Hisao Nakamura illustrated this card. The same name is on 71 other cards in the catalog.

Skarmory (#227) has 33 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Skarmory 13/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hisao Nakamura illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 30 other cards of Skarmory list a different HP.

The attack Pick On lists no damage number. The cost is Metal. If the number of cards in your opponent's hand is at least 6, look at his or her hand. Choose a number of cards there until your opponent has 5 cards left in his or her hand and have your opponent shuffle the cards you chose into his or her deck. Power Count is another attack lists 20+ damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless. Count the amount of Energy attached to all of your Pokémon and all of your opponent's Pokémon. If your Pokémon have less Energy than your opponent's, this attack does 20 damage plus 30 more damage. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Dragon, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Dragon set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Skarmory can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
