Yanmega 54/102 · HS—Triumphant

Yanmega is Pokédex #469, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Yanmega is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Yanma. In this catalog that name is Yanma (#193).

Yanmega sits at 54/102 in HS—Triumphant, position 54 of 103. Before it is 53 Weepinbell, and after it is 55 Aipom. The set belongs to the HeartGold & SoulSilver series. It was released on November 3, 2010. The printed size is 102. This checklist is longer, at 103 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Shoot Through lists 20 damage. The cost is Grass. Does 10 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) U-turn is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Switch Yanmega with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "The beat of its wings is so powerful that it accidentally dislodges full-grown trees when it takes off in flight."

Yanmega (#469) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2025. The earliest other card is Yanmega 17/146 in Legends Awakened (2008). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Kent Kanetsuna illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Yanmega list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoyo Kimura. I count 256 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

HS—Triumphant set binder is where a full HS—Triumphant set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Yanmega can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
