Garchomp 62/131 · Forbidden Light

Garchomp is Pokédex #445, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Garchomp is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 150 HP. The card says it evolves from Gabite. In this catalog that name is Gabite (#444).

Garchomp sits at 62/131 in Forbidden Light, position 63 of 150. Before it is 61 Gabite, and after it is 63 Croagunk. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on May 4, 2018. The printed size is 131. This checklist is longer, at 150 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Quick Dive lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 50 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Royal Blades is another attack lists 100+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. If you played Cynthia from your hand during this turn, this attack does 100 more damage. Weakness is Grass ×2. The flavor text reads "The protuberances on its head serve as sensors. It can even detect distant prey."

Garchomp (#445) has 36 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Garchomp C LV.X DP46/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Garchomp C LV.X, while this one is Garchomp. That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Shizurow illustrated that card, and Megumi Mizutani illustrated this one. 33 other cards of Garchomp list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Megumi Mizutani. I count 133 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Forbidden Light set binder is where a full Forbidden Light set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Garchomp can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
