Heracross 6/111 · 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. Heracross is 6/111, in position 6 of 111 on this checklist. Before it is 5 Feraligatr, and after it is 7 Jumpluff. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Heracross is a Basic Grass Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 28. In the Pokédex this is Heracross (#214), generation 2 (Johto).

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

Heracross (#214) has 26 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2002 to 2025. The earliest other card is Heracross 41/105 in Neo Destiny (2002). Both list 60 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Holo. K. Hoshiba, CR CG gangs illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 24 other cards of Heracross list a different HP.

Final Blow is listed as Pokémon Power. If Heracross's remaining HP are 20 or less, you may make its Megahorn attack's base damage 120 instead of 60. This power can't be used if Heracross is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Megahorn lists 60 damage. The cost is Grass, Grass, Grass. Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "This powerful Pokémon thrusts its prized horn under its enemies' bellies, then lifts and throws them."

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