Ledian 10/147 · Burning Shadows

Ledian is Pokédex #166, generation 2 (Johto). Ledian is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Ledyba. In this catalog that name is Ledyba (#165).

Ledian sits at 10/147 in Burning Shadows, position 10 of 177. Before it is 9 Ledyba, and after it is 11 Heracross. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on August 5, 2017. The printed size is 147. This checklist is longer, at 177 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Swift lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, or any other effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon. Comet Punch is another attack lists 40× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 4 coins. This attack does 40 damage for each heads. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "While it's believed that starlight provides it with energy, this Pokémon also loves to eat berries. In the daytime, it curls up in the grass to sleep."

Ledian (#166) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Ledian 39/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Ledian list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsuko Nishida. I count 408 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Burning Shadows set binder is where a full Burning Shadows set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ledian can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
