Light Venomoth 53/105 · Neo Destiny

Venomoth is Pokédex #049, generation 1 (Kanto). Light Venomoth is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 36. The card says it evolves from Venonat. In this catalog that name is Venonat (#048).

Light Venomoth sits at 53/105 in Neo Destiny, position 53 of 113. Before it is 52 Light Vaporeon, and after it is 54 Light Wigglytuff. 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 Uncommon.

The attack Mysterious Wing lists no damage number. The cost is Grass. Your opponent may choose a Baby Pokémon, Basic Pokémon, or Evolution card from his or her discard pile and put it into his or her hand. Either way, you may do the same. Synchronize is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. If Light Venomoth and the Defending Pokémon have a different number of Energy cards attached to them, this attack does nothing. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. The flavor text reads "It defends itself by flapping its wings at high speed, spreading poisonous powder throughout the air."

Venomoth (#049) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Venomoth 13/64 in Jungle (1999). That card is named Venomoth, while this one is Light Venomoth. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Masako Yamashita illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Venomoth list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masako Yamashita. I count 23 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. Venomoth can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
