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. Solgaleo is 99/168, in position 100 of 187 on this checklist. Before it is 98 Heatran, and after it is 100 Celesteela. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Solgaleo is a Stage 2 Metal Pokémon with 160 HP. In the Pokédex this is Solgaleo (#791), generation 7 (Alola). The card says it evolves from Cosmoem. In this catalog that name is Cosmoem (#790).

5ban Graphics illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,629 other cards in the catalog.

Solgaleo (#791) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2017 to 2026. The earliest other card is Solgaleo-GX 89/149 in Sun & Moon (2017). That card is named Solgaleo-GX, while this one is Solgaleo. That card lists 250 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo GX, and here it is Rare Holo. PLANETA illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Solgaleo list a different HP.

Full Metal Body is listed as Ability. If this Pokémon has any Metal Energy attached to it, it has no Weakness. The attack Rising Dash lists 130 damage. The cost is Metal, Metal, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It is said to live in another world. The intense light it radiates from the surface of its body can make the darkest of nights light up like midday."

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. Solgaleo can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). I still need this card.
