Vanilluxe 35/145 · Guardians Rising

Vanilluxe is Pokédex #584, generation 5 (Unova). Vanilluxe is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 140 HP. The card says it evolves from Vanillish. In this catalog that name is Vanillish (#583).

Vanilluxe sits at 35/145 in Guardians Rising, position 37 of 180. Before it is 34 Vanillish, and after it is 36 Alomomola. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on May 5, 2017. The printed size is 145. This checklist is longer, at 180 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Hail lists no damage number. The cost is Water. This attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Frozen Breath is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water. You may discard 2 Water Energy from this Pokémon. If you do, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Each of its two heads has a brain, and when they are in agreement, it attacks its enemies by exhaling a violent blizzard."

Vanilluxe (#584) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Vanilluxe 29/101 in Noble Victories (2011). That card lists 130 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Vanilluxe list a different HP.

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

Guardians Rising set binder is where a full Guardians Rising set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Vanilluxe can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
