Kricketune is Pokédex #402, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Kricketune is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 46. The card says it evolves from Kricketot. In this catalog that name is Kricketot (#401).

Kricketune sits at 32/127 in Platinum, position 32 of 133. Before it is 31 Infernape, and after it is 33 Lickilicky. The set belongs to the Platinum series. It was released on February 11, 2009. The printed size is 127. This checklist is longer, at 133 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Revenge Melody lists 20× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Does 20 damage times the number of Kricketot and Kricketune in your discard pile. Bug Buzz is another attack lists 50+ damage. The cost is Grass, Grass. If the Defending Pokémon is Asleep, this attack does 50 damage plus 30 more damage.

Kricketune (#402) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2023. The earliest other card is Kricketune 27/123 in Mysterious Treasures (2007). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 6 other cards of Kricketune list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsuko Nishida. I count 408 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Platinum set binder is where a full Platinum set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kricketune can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
