Salamence 106/168 · Celestial Storm

Salamence is Pokédex #373, generation 3 (Hoenn). Salamence is a Stage 2 Dragon Pokémon with 150 HP. The card says it evolves from Shelgon. In this catalog that name is Shelgon (#372).

Salamence sits at 106/168 in Celestial Storm, position 107 of 187. Before it is 105 Shelgon, and after it is 107 Latias ◇. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on August 3, 2018. The printed size is 168. This checklist is longer, at 187 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Dragon Wind is listed as Ability. If this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, once during your turn (before your attack), you may switch 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon with their Active Pokémon. The attack Dragon Claw lists 100 damage. The cost is Fire, Water, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fairy ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It flies around on its wings, which have grown in at last. In its happiness, it gushes hot flames, burning up the fields it passes over."

Salamence (#373) has 30 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Salamence 10/97 in Dragon (2003). That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 27 other cards of Salamence list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Celestial Storm set binder is where a full Celestial Storm set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Salamence can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
