Golem ex 91/97 · Dragon

Golem is Pokédex #076, generation 1 (Kanto). Golem ex is a Stage 2 ex Fighting Pokémon with 160 HP. The card says it evolves from Graveler. In this catalog that name is Graveler (#075).

Golem ex sits at 91/97 in Dragon, position 91 of 100. Before it is 90 Dragonite ex, and after it is 92 Kingdra ex. 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 EX.

The attack Magnitude lists 60 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Does 10 damage to each Benched Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's). (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Double-edge is another attack lists 120 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Golem ex does 50 damage to itself. Weakness is Grass ×2 and Water ×2. Retreat cost is 5. The card text says: When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Golem (#076) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Golem 36/62 in Fossil (1999). That card is named Golem, while this one is Golem ex. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Hikaru Koike illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 4, and here it is 5. 24 other cards of Golem list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hikaru Koike. I count 46 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. Golem can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
