Rapidash 15/83 · Generations

Rapidash is Pokédex #078, generation 1 (Kanto). Rapidash is a Stage 1 Fire Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Ponyta. In this catalog that name is Ponyta (#077).

Rapidash sits at 15/83 in Generations, position 15 of 117. Before it is 14 Ponyta, and after it is 16 Magmar. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on February 22, 2016. The printed size is 83. This checklist is longer, at 117 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Agility lists 20 damage. The cost is Fire. Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokémon during your opponent's next turn. Overrun is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Water ×2. The flavor text reads "Very competitive, this Pokémon will chase anything that moves fast in the hopes of racing it."

Rapidash (#078) has 33 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 28 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Rapidash 44/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and DemizuPosuka illustrated this one. 29 other cards of Rapidash list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads DemizuPosuka. I count 4 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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