Kyogre ex 1/40 · Nintendo Black Star Promos

Nintendo Black Star Promos is a set in the NP series. It was released on October 1, 2003. The printed size is 40, and the checklist is the same length. Kyogre ex is 1/40, in position 1 of 40 on this checklist. The next card is 2 Groudon ex. The listed rarity is Promo.

Kyogre ex is a Basic EX Water Pokémon with 120 HP. In the Pokédex this is Kyogre (#382), generation 3 (Hoenn).

Hiromichi Sugiyama illustrated this card. The same name is on 32 other cards in the catalog.

Kyogre (#382) has 32 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Kyogre ex 37/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. Ryo Ueda illustrated that card, and Hiromichi Sugiyama illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 31 other cards of Kyogre list a different HP.

The attack Major Flood lists 60 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water, Water. Discard a Water Energy card attached to Kyogre ex. Does 10 damage to each Benched Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's). (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The card text says: When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

I keep a set binder for Nintendo Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Nintendo Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kyogre can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
