Ledian 39/111 · 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. Ledian is 39/111, in position 39 of 111 on this checklist. Before it is 38 Lanturn, and after it is 40 Magmar. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Ledian is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 32. In the Pokédex this is Ledian (#166), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Ledyba. In this catalog that name is Ledyba (#165).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Ledian (#166) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2002 to 2024. The earliest other card is Light Ledian 24/105 in Neo Destiny (2002). That card is named Light Ledian, while this one is Ledian. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Ledian list a different HP.

The attack Baton Pass lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass, Grass. If you have any Grass Pokémon on your Bench, remove all Grass Energy cards from Ledian and attach them to 1 of those Pokémon, then switch Ledian with that Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. The flavor text reads "When the stars flicker in the night sky, Ledian flutters about, scattering a glowing powder."

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. Ledian can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
