Ludicolo 38/168 · Celestial Storm

Ludicolo is Pokédex #272, generation 3 (Hoenn). Ludicolo is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 140 HP. The card says it evolves from Lombre. In this catalog that name is Lombre (#271).

Ludicolo sits at 38/168 in Celestial Storm, position 39 of 187. Before it is 37 Lombre, and after it is 39 Wailmer. 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.

Swing Dance is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may draw a card. The attack Circular Steps lists 70+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 10 more damage for each other Pokémon in play (both yours and your opponent's). Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "The rhythm of bright, festive music activates Ludicolo's cells, making it more powerful."

Ludicolo (#272) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ludicolo 7/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Ludicolo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsuko Nishida. I count 408 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. Ludicolo can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
