Sabrina's Golduck 30/132 · Gym Challenge

Golduck is Pokédex #055, generation 1 (Kanto). Sabrina's Golduck is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 33. The card says it evolves from Sabrina's Psyduck. In this catalog that name is Psyduck (#054).

Sabrina's Golduck sits at 30/132 in Gym Challenge, position 30 of 132. Before it is 29 Sabrina's Gengar, and after it is 31 Blaine's Charmeleon. The set belongs to the Gym series. It was released on October 16, 2000. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Damage Shift lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic, Psychic. Move 1 damage counter from each of your Pokémon that has any on it to the Defending Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.) Water Spray is another attack lists 20+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 20 more damage; if tails, this attack does 20 damage. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

Golduck (#055) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Golduck 35/62 in Fossil (1999). That card is named Golduck, while this one is Sabrina's Golduck. Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 16 other cards of Golduck list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Gym Challenge set binder is where a full Gym Challenge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Golduck can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Psyduck and Golduck, Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, and Sabrina and her Pokémon. I still need this card.
