Cosmic Eclipse is a set in the Sun & Moon series. It was released on November 1, 2019. The printed size is 236. This checklist is longer, at 272 cards. Armaldo is 112/236, in position 112 of 272 on this checklist. Before it is 111 Anorith, and after it is 113 Groudon. The listed rarity is Rare.

Armaldo is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 150 HP. In the Pokédex this is Armaldo (#348), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Anorith. In this catalog that name is Anorith (#347).

Ayaka Yoshida illustrated this card. The same name is on 128 other cards in the catalog.

Armaldo (#348) has 8 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2022. The earliest other card is Armaldo 1/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Ayaka Yoshida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 6 other cards of Armaldo list a different HP.

The attack Ancient Blast lists 20+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 50 more damage for each Unidentified Fossil card in your discard pile. Mach Claw is another attack lists 100 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It lived on land and went out into the sea to hunt for prey. Its sharp claws were its greatest weapon."

I keep a set binder for Cosmic Eclipse, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Cosmic Eclipse set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Armaldo can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
