Xatu 33/78 · Pokémon GO

Xatu is Pokédex #178, generation 2 (Johto). Xatu is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 110 HP. The card says it evolves from Natu. In this catalog that name is Natu (#177).

Xatu sits at 33/78 in Pokémon GO, position 33 of 88. Before it is 32 Natu, and after it is 34 Lunatone. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on July 1, 2022. The printed size is 78. This checklist is longer, at 88 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Pinpoint Wave lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic. This attack does 90 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon V. This damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. Mind Bend is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Darkness ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. The flavor text reads "They say that it stays still and quiet because it is seeing both the past and future at the same time." The regulation mark is F.

Xatu (#178) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Xatu 52/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hataya illustrated this one. 19 other cards of Xatu list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hataya. I count 8 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Pokémon GO set binder is where a full Pokémon GO set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Xatu can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
