Probopass 4/17 · POP Series 8

POP Series 8 is a set in the POP series. It was released on September 1, 2008. The printed size is 17, and the checklist is the same length. Probopass is 4/17, in position 4 of 17 on this checklist. Before it is 3 Luxray, and after it is 5 Yanmega. The listed rarity is Rare.

Probopass is a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 44. In the Pokédex this is Probopass (#476), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Nosepass. In this catalog that name is Nosepass (#299).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Probopass (#476) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Probopass G DP43/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Probopass G, while this one is Probopass. Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Ryota Saito illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Probopass list a different HP.

The attack Rock Slide lists 20 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless. Does 10 damage to 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Triple Nose is another attack lists 50+ damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 3 coins. This attack does 50 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads. Weakness is Fire +30. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It exudes strong magnetism from all cover. It controls three small units called Mini-Noses."

I keep a set binder for POP Series 8, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the POP Series 8 set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Probopass can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
