Ludicolo 34/127 · Platinum

Ludicolo, Platinum #34

Ludicolo is Pokédex #272, generation 3 (Hoenn). Ludicolo is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 120 HP. The card lists level 52. The card says it evolves from Lombre. In this catalog that name is Lombre (#271).

Ludicolo sits at 34/127 in Platinum, position 34 of 133. Before it is 33 Lickilicky, and after it is 35 Luvdisc. 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.

Cheerful Voice is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may use this power. If you do, your turn ends. During your next turn, each of Ludicolo's attacks does 60 more damage to the Defending Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). This power can't be used if Ludicolo is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Mad Dance lists 20 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Best Dance is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. After doing damage, remove from Ludicolo the number of damage counters equal to the damage you did to the Defending Pokémon. Ludicolo can't use Best Dance during your next turn. Weakness is Lightning +30. Retreat cost is 2.

Ludicolo (#272) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ludicolo 7/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Ludicolo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 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. Ludicolo can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
