Jumpluff 11/109 · Team Rocket Returns

Jumpluff is Pokédex #189, generation 2 (Johto). Jumpluff is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Skiploom. In this catalog that name is Skiploom (#188).

Jumpluff sits at 11/109 in Team Rocket Returns, position 11 of 111. Before it is 10 Dark Steelix, and after it is 12 Kingdra. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on November 1, 2004. The printed size is 109. This checklist is longer, at 111 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Buffer is listed as Poké-Body. If Jumpluff would be Knocked Out by an opponent's attack, flip a coin. If heads, Jumpluff is not Knocked Out and its remaining HP becomes 10 instead. The attack Energy Crush lists 10+ damage. The cost is Colorless. Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy attached to all of your opponent's Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2.

Jumpluff (#189) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Jumpluff 7/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this one. 5 other cards of Jumpluff list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kyoko Umemoto. I count 174 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Rocket Returns set binder is where a full Team Rocket Returns set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Jumpluff can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
