Venomoth 11/102 · HS—Triumphant

HS—Triumphant is a set in the HeartGold & SoulSilver series. It was released on November 3, 2010. The printed size is 102. This checklist is longer, at 103 cards. Venomoth is 11/102, in position 11 of 103 on this checklist. Before it is 10 Spiritomb, and after it is 12 Victreebel. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Venomoth is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Venomoth (#049), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Venonat. In this catalog that name is Venonat (#048).

Hideaki Hakozaki illustrated this card. The same name is on 35 other cards in the catalog.

Venomoth (#049) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Venomoth 13/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hideaki Hakozaki illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Venomoth list a different HP.

Poison Moth Wind is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. If tails, your Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. This power can't be used if Venomoth is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Stun Spore lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "The powder on its wings is poisonous if it is dark in hue. If it is light in hue, it causes paralysis."

I keep a set binder for HS—Triumphant, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the HS—Triumphant set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Venomoth can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
