Cherrim 15/99 · Arceus

Cherrim is Pokédex #421, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Cherrim is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 33. The card says it evolves from Cherubi. In this catalog that name is Cherubi (#420).

Cherrim sits at 15/99 in Arceus, position 15 of 111. Before it is 14 Bronzong, and after it is 16 Gengar. The set belongs to the Platinum series. It was released on November 4, 2009. The printed size is 99. This checklist is longer, at 111 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Cloudy Sky is listed as Poké-Body. If any of your Grass Pokémon or Fire Pokémon would be damaged by an attack, reduce that damage by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Worry Seed lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Fire +20. Resistance is Water -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "If it senses strong sunlight, it opens its folded petals to absorb the sun's rays with its whole body."

Cherrim (#421) has 11 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Cherrim 45/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Midori Harada illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 1 other cards of Cherrim list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Midori Harada. I count 352 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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