Vikavolt 52/149 · Sun & Moon

Vikavolt is Pokédex #738, generation 7 (Alola). Vikavolt is a Stage 2 Lightning Pokémon with 150 HP. The card says it evolves from Charjabug. In this catalog that name is Charjabug (#737).

Vikavolt sits at 52/149 in Sun & Moon, position 52 of 173. Before it is 51 Charjabug, and after it is 53 Togedemaru. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on February 3, 2017. The printed size is 149. This checklist is longer, at 173 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Strong Charge is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for a Grass Energy card and a Lightning Energy card and attach them to your Pokémon in any way you like. Then, shuffle your deck. The attack Electro Cannon lists 150 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Discard 3 Energy from this Pokémon. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It produces electricity via an electrical organ in its abdomen. It overwhelms bird Pokémon with shocking beams of electrical energy."

Vikavolt (#738) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2017 to 2026. The earliest other card is Vikavolt SM28/248 in SM Black Star Promos (2017). Both list 150 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Shin Nagasawa illustrated that card, and Hitoshi Ariga illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Vikavolt list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hitoshi Ariga. I count 155 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Sun & Moon set binder is where a full Sun & Moon set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Vikavolt can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). I still need this card.
