Kakuna 41/75 · Neo Discovery

Neo Discovery is a set in the Neo series. It was released on June 1, 2001. The printed size is 75, and the checklist is the same length. Kakuna is 41/75, in position 41 of 75 on this checklist. Before it is 40 Igglybuff, and after it is 42 Metapod. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Kakuna is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 22. In the Pokédex this is Kakuna (#014), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Weedle. In this catalog that name is Weedle (#013). The card lists Beedrill, Beedrill (#015) under evolves to.

Yukiko Baba illustrated this card. The same name is on 151 other cards in the catalog.

Kakuna (#014) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Kakuna 33/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Yukiko Baba illustrated this one. 18 other cards of Kakuna list a different HP.

The attack Secrete Poison lists no damage number. The cost is Grass, Grass. During your opponent's next turn, whenever your opponent's attack damages Kakuna (even if Kakuna is Knocked Out), your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned and Kakuna does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Although it is a cocoon, it can move a little. It can extend its poison barb if it is attacked."

I keep a set binder for Neo Discovery, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Discovery set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kakuna can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
