Dark Scizor 9/105 · Neo Destiny

Neo Destiny is a set in the Neo series. It was released on February 28, 2002. The printed size is 105. This checklist is longer, at 113 cards. Dark Scizor is 9/105, in position 9 of 113 on this checklist. Before it is 8 Dark Porygon2, and after it is 10 Dark Typhlosion. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Dark Scizor is a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 35. In the Pokédex this is Scizor (#212), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Scyther. In this catalog that name is Scyther (#123).

Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card. The same name is on 721 other cards in the catalog.

Scizor (#212) has 35 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Scizor 33/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card is named Scizor, while this one is Dark Scizor. Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 34 other cards of Scizor list a different HP.

The attack Threaten lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, look at your opponent's hand. If he or she has any Trainer cards there, choose 1 of them. Your opponent shuffles that card into his or her deck. Slash is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Nothing can withstand the pressure of the vise-like grip of this Pokémon's steel claws."

I keep a set binder for Neo Destiny, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Destiny set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Scizor can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards and Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
