Elekid, Neo Genesis #22

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. Elekid is 22/111, in position 22 of 111 on this checklist. Before it is 21 Donphan, and after it is 23 Magby. The listed rarity is Rare.

Elekid is a Baby Lightning Pokémon with 30 HP. The card lists level 6. In the Pokédex this is Elekid (#239), generation 2 (Johto). The card lists Electabuzz, Electabuzz (#125) under evolves to.

Miki Tanaka illustrated this card. The same name is on 192 other cards in the catalog.

Elekid (#239) has 7 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 7 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2023. The earliest other card is Elekid 9/147 in Aquapolis (2003). Both list 30 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Hikaru Koike illustrated that card, and Miki Tanaka illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Elekid list a different HP.

Playful Punch is listed as Pokémon Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, do 20 damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon. (Apply Weakness and Resistance.) Either way, this ends your turn. This power can't be used if Elekid is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The card text says: If this Baby Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and your opponent tries to attack, your opponent flips a coin (before doing anything required in order to use that attack). If tails, your opponent's turn ends without an attack. The flavor text reads "It rotates its arms to generate electricity, but it tires easily, so it charges up only a little bit."

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. Elekid can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Baby Pokémon. I still need this card.
