Venomoth 49/112 · FireRed & LeafGreen

Venomoth is Pokédex #049, generation 1 (Kanto). Venomoth is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Venonat. In this catalog that name is Venonat (#048).

Venomoth sits at 49/112 in FireRed & LeafGreen, position 49 of 116. Before it is 48 Raticate, and after it is 50 Wartortle. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on September 1, 2004. The printed size is 112. This checklist is longer, at 116 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Protective Dust is listed as Poké-Body. Prevent all effects of attacks, except damage, done to Venomoth by the Attacking Pokémon. The attack Sleep Poison lists no damage number. The cost is Grass. The Defending Pokémon is now Asleep and Poisoned. Razor Wind is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Weakness is Fire ×2.

Venomoth (#049) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Venomoth 13/64 in Jungle (1999). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Venomoth list a different HP.

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

FireRed & LeafGreen set binder is where a full FireRed & LeafGreen set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Venomoth can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
