Kyogre ex 37/40 · Nintendo Black Star Promos

Kyogre is Pokédex #382, generation 3 (Hoenn). Kyogre ex is a Basic EX Water Pokémon with 100 HP.

Kyogre ex sits at 37/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos, position 37 of 40. Before it is 36 Tropical Tidal Wave, and after it is 38 Groudon ex. The set belongs to the NP series. It was released on October 1, 2003. The printed size is 40, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Promo.

Frenzy is listed as Poké-Body. As long as your opponent has Groudon, Groudon ex, Rayquaza, or Rayquaza ex in play. Kyogre ex's attacks do 40 more damage to the Defending Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Aqua Supply lists 30 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. You may attach a basic Energy card from your hand to 1 of your Pokémon. Tsunami is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

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 1/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. Hiromichi Sugiyama illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 26 other cards of Kyogre list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ryo Ueda. I count 462 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Nintendo Black Star Promos set binder is where a full Nintendo Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kyogre can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
