Octillery 34/64 · Neo Revelation

Octillery is Pokédex #224, generation 2 (Johto). Octillery is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 43. The card says it evolves from Remoraid. In this catalog that name is Remoraid (#223).

Octillery sits at 34/64 in Neo Revelation, position 34 of 66. Before it is 33 Magcargo, and after it is 35 Parasect. 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.

The attack Constrict lists 10 damage. The cost is Water. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Octazooka is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water. Flip a coin. If heads, whenever the Defending Pokémon attacks, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing. (Benching or evolving that Pokémon ends this effect.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It traps enemies with its suction cupped tentacles then smashes them with its rockhard head."

Octillery (#224) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2002 to 2026. The earliest other card is Dark Octillery 62/105 in Neo Destiny (2002). That card is named Dark Octillery, while this one is Octillery. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Uncommon. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Octillery list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Tomokazu Komiya. I count 248 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. Octillery can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
