Medicham ex 95/106 · Emerald

Medicham is Pokédex #308, generation 3 (Hoenn). Medicham ex is a Stage 1 ex Fighting Pokémon with 110 HP. The card says it evolves from Meditite. In this catalog that name is Meditite (#307).

Medicham ex sits at 95/106 in Emerald, position 95 of 107. Before it is 94 Dusclops ex, and after it is 96 Milotic ex. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on May 1, 2005. The printed size is 106. This checklist is longer, at 107 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo EX.

Wise Aura is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Medicham ex is your Active Pokémon, each Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex) (both yours and your opponent's) can't use any Poké-Powers. The attack Pure Power lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Put 3 damage counters on your opponent's Pokémon in any way you like. Sky Kick is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. If the Defending Pokémon has Fighting Resistance, this attack does 60 damage plus 40 more damage. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Medicham (#308) has 24 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2026. The earliest other card is Medicham 10/101 in Hidden Legends (2004). That card is named Medicham, while this one is Medicham ex. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Hikaru Koike illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Medicham list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hikaru Koike. I count 46 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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