Lanturn 32/64 · Neo Revelation

Lanturn is Pokédex #171, generation 2 (Johto). Lanturn is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 31. The card says it evolves from Chinchou. In this catalog that name is Chinchou (#170).

Lanturn sits at 32/64 in Neo Revelation, position 32 of 66. Before it is 31 Jynx, and after it is 33 Magcargo. The set belongs to the Neo series. It was released on September 21, 2001. The printed size is 64. This checklist is longer, at 66 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Submerge is listed as Pokémon Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may change Lanturn's type to Water until the end of your turn. This power can't be used if Lanturn is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. If Lanturn becomes Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed after you have used this power, its type changes back to Lightning. The attack Blinding Light lists 30 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It blinds prey with an intense burst of light, then swallows the immobilized prey in a single gulp."

Lanturn (#171) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Lanturn 38/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Lanturn list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Neo Revelation set binder is where a full Neo Revelation set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lanturn can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
