Yanmega 98/102 · HS—Triumphant

Yanmega is Pokédex #469, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Yanmega is a Stage 1 Prime Grass Pokémon with 110 HP. The card says it evolves from Yanma. In this catalog that name is Yanma (#193).

Yanmega sits at 98/102 in HS—Triumphant, position 98 of 103. Before it is 97 Mew, and after it is 99 Darkrai & Cresselia LEGEND. 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 Rare Prime.

Insight is listed as Poké-Body. If you have the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent, the attack cost of each of Yanmega's attacks is 0. The attack Linear Attack lists no damage number. The cost is Grass, Colorless. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 40 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Sonicboom is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Grass, Grass, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20.

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). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Prime. Kent Kanetsuna illustrated that card, and Noriko Hotta illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Yanmega list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Noriko Hotta. I count 20 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.
