Seadra 30/147 · Burning Shadows

Seadra is Pokédex #117, generation 1 (Kanto). Seadra is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Horsea. In this catalog that name is Horsea (#116). The card lists Kingdra, Kingdra (#230) under evolves to.

Seadra sits at 30/147 in Burning Shadows, position 31 of 177. Before it is 29 Horsea, and after it is 31 Kingdra. 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 Uncommon.

The attack Water Arrow lists no damage number. The cost is Water. This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its body bristles with sharp spikes. Carelessly trying to touch it could cause fainting from the spikes."

Seadra (#117) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Seadra 42/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Suwama Chiaki illustrated this one. 15 other cards of Seadra list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Suwama Chiaki. I count 102 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. Seadra can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
