Shedinja 44/147 · Supreme Victors

Supreme Victors is a set in the Platinum series. It was released on August 19, 2009. The printed size is 147. This checklist is longer, at 153 cards. Shedinja is 44/147, in position 44 of 153 on this checklist. Before it is 43 Seaking, and after it is 45 Solrock. The listed rarity is Rare.

Shedinja is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 40. In the Pokédex this is Shedinja (#292), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Nincada. In this catalog that name is Nincada (#290).

Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card. The same name is on 721 other cards in the catalog.

Shedinja (#292) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Shedinja 11/97 in Dragon (2003). That card lists 30 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 5 other cards of Shedinja list a different HP.

Marvel Shell is listed as Poké-Body. Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Shedinja by your opponent's Pokémon that has any Poké-Powers or Poké-Bodies. The attack Spike Wound lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fire +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "A discarded bug shell that came to life. Peering into the crack on its back is said to steal one's spirit."

I keep a set binder for Supreme Victors, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Supreme Victors set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Shedinja can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
