Glalie 18/99 · Arceus

Arceus is a set in the Platinum series. It was released on November 4, 2009. The printed size is 99. This checklist is longer, at 111 cards. Glalie is 18/99, in position 18 of 111 on this checklist. Before it is 17 Gengar, and after it is 19 Golem. The listed rarity is Rare.

Glalie is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 46. In the Pokédex this is Glalie (#362), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Snorunt. In this catalog that name is Snorunt (#361).

Hiroki Fuchino illustrated this card. The same name is on 12 other cards in the catalog.

Glalie (#362) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2024. The earliest other card is Glalie 34/101 in Hidden Legends (2004). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Midori Harada illustrated that card, and Hiroki Fuchino illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Glalie list a different HP.

The attack Wreck lists 20+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. If there is any Stadium card in play, this attack does 20 damage plus 50 more damage. Discard that Stadium card. Avalanche is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Metal +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It prevents prey from escaping by instantaneously freezing moisture in the air."

I keep a set binder for Arceus, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Arceus set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Glalie can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
