Swoobat 33/91 · Paldean Fates

Swoobat is Pokédex #528, generation 5 (Unova). Swoobat is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Woobat. In this catalog that name is Woobat (#527).

Swoobat sits at 33/91 in Paldean Fates, position 33 of 245. Before it is 32 Woobat, and after it is 34 Cottonee. The set belongs to the Scarlet & Violet series. It was released on January 26, 2024. The printed size is 91. This checklist is longer, at 245 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Attraction Wave lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused. Put 6 damage counters instead of 3 on that Pokémon for this Special Condition. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "The auspicious shape of this Pokémon's nose apparently led some regions to consider Swoobat a symbol of good luck." The regulation mark is G.

Swoobat (#528) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Swoobat 51/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Narumi Sato illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Swoobat list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Narumi Sato. I count 44 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Paldean Fates set binder is where a full Paldean Fates set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Swoobat can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
