Vikavolt SM28/248 · SM Black Star Promos

Vikavolt is Pokédex #738, generation 7 (Alola). Vikavolt is a Stage 2 Lightning Pokémon with 150 HP. The card says it evolves from Charjabug. In this catalog that name is Charjabug (#737).

Vikavolt sits at SM28/248 in SM Black Star Promos, position 28 of 251. Before it is SM27 Turtonator, and after it is SM29 Mimikyu. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on February 3, 2017. The printed size is 248. This checklist is longer, at 251 cards. The listed rarity is Promo.

Strong Charge is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for a Grass Energy card and a Lightning Energy card and attach them to your Pokémon in any way you like. Then, shuffle your deck. The attack Electro Cannon lists 150 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Discard 3 Energy from this Pokémon. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It produces electricity via an electrical organ in its abdomen. It overwhelms bird Pokémon with shocking beams of electrical energy."

Vikavolt (#738) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2017 to 2026. The earliest other card is Vikavolt 52/149 in Sun & Moon (2017). Both list 150 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. Hitoshi Ariga illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Vikavolt list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shin Nagasawa. I count 303 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

SM Black Star Promos set binder is where a full SM Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Vikavolt can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). I still need this card.
