Mothim 6/99 · Arceus

Mothim is Pokédex #414, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Mothim is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 43. The card says it evolves from Burmy. In this catalog that name is Burmy (#412).

Mothim sits at 6/99 in Arceus, position 6 of 111. Before it is 5 Luxray, and after it is 7 Probopass. 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 Holo.

The attack Cloak Party lists no damage number. Search your deck for up to 3 in any combination of Burmy and Wormadam, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. Energy Assist is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless. Search your discard pile for a basic Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Fire +20. Resistance is Fighting -20. The flavor text reads "While it loves floral honey, it won't gather any itself. Instead, it plots to steal some from Combee."

Mothim (#414) has 5 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 5 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2022. The earliest other card is Mothim 33/132 in Secret Wonders (2007). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. Kazuyuki Kano illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Mothim list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 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. Mothim can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
