Suicune 4/17 · POP Series 2

POP Series 2 is a set in the POP series. It was released on August 1, 2005. The printed size is 17, and the checklist is the same length. Suicune is 4/17, in position 4 of 17 on this checklist. Before it is 3 Raikou, and after it is 5 Tauros. The listed rarity is Rare.

Suicune is a Basic Water Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Suicune (#245), generation 2 (Johto).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

Suicune (#245) has 30 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Suicune 53/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 24 other cards of Suicune list a different HP.

Mirror Coat is listed as Poké-Body. If Suicune is Burned or Poisoned by an opponent's attack (even if Suicune is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now affected by the same Special Conditions (1 if there is only 1). The attack Bubblebeam lists 20 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for POP Series 2, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the POP Series 2 set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Suicune can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
