Ivysaur 7/17 · POP Series 2

Ivysaur is Pokédex #002, generation 1 (Kanto). Ivysaur is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Bulbasaur. In this catalog that name is Bulbasaur (#001). The card lists Venusaur, Venusaur (#003) under evolves to.

Ivysaur (#002) has 20 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ivysaur 30/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. 15 other cards of Ivysaur list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

POP Series 2 set binder is where a full POP Series 2 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ivysaur can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
