Typhlosion 18/111 · Neo Genesis

Typhlosion is Pokédex #157, generation 2 (Johto). Typhlosion is a Stage 2 Fire Pokémon with 100 HP. The card lists level 57. The card says it evolves from Quilava. In this catalog that name is Quilava (#156).

Typhlosion sits at 18/111 in Neo Genesis, position 18 of 111. Before it is 17 Typhlosion, and after it is 19 Metal Energy. The set belongs to the Neo series. It was released on December 16, 2000. The printed size is 111, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Fire Boost is listed as Pokémon Power. When you play Typhlosion from your hand, you may flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for up to 4 Fire Energy cards and attach them to Typhlosion. Shuffle your deck afterward. The attack Flame Wheel lists 80 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire. Discard 3 Fire Energy cards attached to Typhlosion in order to use this attack. Do 20 damage to each Benched Pokémon (yours and your opponent's). (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It has a secret, devastating move. It rubs its blazing fur together to cause huge explosions."

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 17/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). Both list 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Typhlosion list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Neo Genesis set binder is where a full Neo Genesis set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Typhlosion can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
