Typhlosion 17/111 · Neo Genesis

Neo Genesis is a set in the Neo series. It was released on December 16, 2000. The printed size is 111, and the checklist is the same length. Typhlosion is 17/111, in position 17 of 111 on this checklist. Before it is 16 Togetic, and after it is 18 Typhlosion. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Typhlosion is a Stage 2 Fire Pokémon with 100 HP. The card lists level 55. In the Pokédex this is Typhlosion (#157), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Quilava. In this catalog that name is Quilava (#156).

Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated this card. The same name is on 50 other cards in the catalog.

Typhlosion (#157) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Typhlosion 18/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). Both list 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Typhlosion list a different HP.

Fire Recharge is listed as Pokémon Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, attach a Fire Energy card from your discard pile to 1 of your Fire Pokémon. This power can't be used if Typhlosion is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Flame Burst lists 60+ damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 60 damage plus 20 more damage and does 20 damage to Typhlosion. If tails, this attack does 60 damage. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "If its rage peaks, it becomes so hot that anything that touches it will instantly go up in flames."

I keep a set binder for Neo Genesis, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Genesis set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Typhlosion can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
