Cacturne 20/168 · Celestial Storm

Celestial Storm is a set in the Sun & Moon series. It was released on August 3, 2018. The printed size is 168. This checklist is longer, at 187 cards. Cacturne is 20/168, in position 21 of 187 on this checklist. Before it is 19 Cacnea, and after it is 21 Tropius. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Cacturne is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 110 HP. In the Pokédex this is Cacturne (#332), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Cacnea. In this catalog that name is Cacnea (#331).

Atsuko Nishida illustrated this card. The same name is on 408 other cards in the catalog.

Cacturne (#332) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2023. The earliest other card is Cacturne 2/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. 10 other cards of Cacturne list a different HP.

Poison Payback is listed as Ability. If this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned. The attack Feint Attack lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 50 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, or any other effects on that Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Packs of them follow travelers through the desert until the travelers can no longer move."

I keep a set binder for Celestial Storm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Celestial Storm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Cacturne can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
