Arbok 37/73 · Shining Legends

Arbok is Pokédex #024, generation 1 (Kanto). Arbok is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 120 HP. The card says it evolves from Ekans. In this catalog that name is Ekans (#023).

Arbok sits at 37/73 in Shining Legends, position 38 of 81. Before it is 36 Ekans, and after it is 38 Jynx. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on October 6, 2017. The printed size is 73. This checklist is longer, at 81 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Intimidating Pattern is listed as Ability. As long as this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, your opponent's Active Pokémon's attacks do 30 less damage (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Venomous Fang lists 70 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "The pattern on its belly appears to be a frightening face. Weak foes will flee just at the sight of the pattern."

Arbok (#024) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Arbok 31/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and kodama illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 16 other cards of Arbok list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kodama. I count 86 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Shining Legends set binder is where a full Shining Legends set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Arbok can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
