Dark Crobat 2/105 · Neo Destiny

Crobat is Pokédex #169, generation 2 (Johto). Dark Crobat is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 39. The card says it evolves from Dark Golbat. In this catalog that name is Golbat (#042).

Dark Crobat sits at 2/105 in Neo Destiny, position 2 of 113. Before it is 1 Dark Ampharos, and after it is 3 Dark Donphan. The set belongs to the Neo series. It was released on February 28, 2002. The printed size is 105. This checklist is longer, at 113 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Surprise Bite is listed as Pokémon Power. When you play Dark Crobat from your hand, you may choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This power does 20 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.) The attack Dark Drain lists no damage number. The cost is Grass, Grass. Flip a coin for each of your opponent's Pokémon. For each heads, this attack does 10 damage to that Pokémon. Don't apply Weakness and Resistance. Remove a number of damage counters from Dark Crobat equal to the damage dealt. If Dark Crobat has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. The flavor text reads "Although the wings it has evolved on its feet allow it to fly at high speeds, they unfortunately make it difficult to perch."

Crobat (#169) has 37 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 26 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Crobat 4/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card is named Crobat, while this one is Dark Crobat. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and Shin-ichi Yoshikawa, CR CG gangs illustrated this one. 37 other cards of Crobat list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shin-ichi Yoshikawa, CR CG gangs. I count 2 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Neo Destiny set binder is where a full Neo Destiny set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Crobat can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
