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. Volbeat is 82/102, in position 82 of 103 on this checklist. Before it is 81 Venonat, and after it is 83 Voltorb. The listed rarity is Common.

Volbeat is a Basic Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Volbeat (#313), generation 3 (Hoenn).

Kent Kanetsuna illustrated this card. The same name is on 74 other cards in the catalog.

Volbeat (#313) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Volbeat 53/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Common. Kyoko Umemoto illustrated that card, and Kent Kanetsuna illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Volbeat list a different HP.

The attack Illumisile lists no damage number. The cost is Grass. If you don't have Illumise in play, this attack does nothing. Choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Firefly Light is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Burned and Confused. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It emits light from its tail to communicate. It loves the sweet aroma given off by Illumise."

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. Volbeat can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
