Crobat 56/149 · Sun & Moon

Crobat is Pokédex #169, generation 2 (Johto). Crobat is a Stage 2 Psychic Pokémon with 130 HP. The card says it evolves from Golbat. In this catalog that name is Golbat (#042).

Crobat sits at 56/149 in Sun & Moon, position 56 of 173. Before it is 55 Golbat, and after it is 57 Alolan Grimer. 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.

The attack Triple Poison lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 3 damage counters instead of 1 on that Pokémon between turns. Surprise Strike is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. If this Pokémon was on the Bench and became your Active Pokémon this turn, this attack does 60 more damage. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. The flavor text reads "Both its legs became wings, and as a result, it can't move well on the ground. All it can do is crawl around."

Crobat (#169) has 37 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 26 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Crobat 4/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and DemizuPosuka illustrated this one. 25 other cards of Crobat list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads DemizuPosuka. I count 4 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. Crobat can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
