Blacephalon 32/214 · Unbroken Bonds

Blacephalon is Pokédex #806, generation 7 (Alola). Blacephalon is a Basic Ultra Beast Fire Pokémon with 120 HP.

Blacephalon sits at 32/214 in Unbroken Bonds, position 32 of 238. Before it is 31 Salazzle, and after it is 33 Squirtle. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on May 3, 2019. The printed size is 214. This checklist is longer, at 238 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Blazer lists 10+ damage. The cost is Fire. Turn 1 of your face-down Prize cards face up. If it's a Fire Energy card, this attack does 50 more damage. (That Prize card remains face up for the rest of the game.) Fireball Circus is another attack lists 50× damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Fire. Discard any number of Fire Energy cards from your hand. This attack does 50 damage for each card you discarded in this way. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It slithers toward people. Then, without warning, it triggers the explosion of its own head. It's apparently one kind of Ultra Beast."

Blacephalon (#806) has 5 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 3 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2017 to 2019. The earliest other card is Blacephalon SM221/248 in SM Black Star Promos (2017). That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Shin Nagasawa illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. 5 other cards of Blacephalon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kawayoo. I count 209 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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