Sunflora 50/111 · Neo Genesis

Sunflora is Pokédex #192, generation 2 (Johto). Sunflora is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 36. The card says it evolves from Sunkern. In this catalog that name is Sunkern (#191).

Sunflora sits at 50/111 in Neo Genesis, position 50 of 111. Before it is 49 Skiploom, and after it is 51 Togepi. 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 Uncommon.

The attack Petal Dance lists 30× damage. The cost is Grass, Grass, Grass. Flip 3 coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads. Sunflora is now Confused (after doing damage). Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It converts sunlight into energy. In the darkness after sunset, it closes its petals and becomes still."

Sunflora (#192) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2002 to 2024. The earliest other card is Light Sunflora 72/105 in Neo Destiny (2002). That card is named Light Sunflora, while this one is Sunflora. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Uncommon. Toshinao Aoki illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 8 other cards of Sunflora list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 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. Sunflora can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
