Misty's Seadra 9/132 · Gym Heroes
Gym Heroes is a set in the Gym series. It was released on August 14, 2000. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. Misty's Seadra is 9/132, in position 9 of 132 on this checklist. Before it is 8 Lt. Surge's Magneton, and after it is 10 Misty's Tentacruel. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.
Misty's Seadra is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 30. In the Pokédex this is Seadra (#117), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Misty's Horsea. In this catalog that name is Horsea (#116). The card lists Kingdra, Kingdra (#230) under evolves to.
Atsuko Nishida illustrated this card. The same name is on 408 other cards in the catalog.
Seadra (#117) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Seadra 42/62 in Fossil (1999). That card is named Seadra, while this one is Misty's Seadra. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Seadra list a different HP.
The attack Tail Snap lists 20 damage. The cost is Water. Knockout Needle is another attack lists 30+ damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water. Flip 2 coins. If both of them are heads, this attack does 30 damage plus 60 more damage. If 1 or both of them are tails, this attack does 30 damage. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1.
I keep a set binder for Gym Heroes, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Gym Heroes set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Seadra can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Atsuko Nishida cards, early series, Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, and Misty and her Pokémon. I still need this card.
