Koga's Kakuna 47/132 · Gym Challenge

Koga's Kakuna, Gym Challenge #47

Kakuna is Pokédex #014, generation 1 (Kanto). Koga's Kakuna is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 21. The card says it evolves from Koga's Weedle. In this catalog that name is Weedle (#013). The card lists Beedrill, Beedrill (#015) under evolves to.

Koga's Kakuna sits at 47/132 in Gym Challenge, position 47 of 132. Before it is 46 Koga's Golbat, and after it is 48 Koga's Koffing. 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 Uncommon.

Emerge is listed as Pokémon Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for an Evolution card named Koga's Beedrill and put it on Koga's Kakuna. (This counts as evolving Koga's Kakuna.) Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Koga's Kakuna is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Toxic Secretion lists no damage number. The cost is Grass. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. It now takes 20 Poison damage instead of 10 after each player's turn (even if it was already Poisoned). Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

Kakuna (#014) has 21 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 Kakuna 33/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Kakuna, while this one is Koga's Kakuna. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Kakuna 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. Kakuna can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon and Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon. I still need this card.
