Ledian 133/102 · Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos

Ledian is Pokédex #166, generation 2 (Johto). Ledian is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Ledyba. In this catalog that name is Ledyba (#165).

Ledian sits at 133/102 in Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos, position 133 of 165. Before it is 132 Greninja ex, and after it is 134 Crabominable. The set belongs to the Scarlet & Violet series. It was released on January 1, 2023. The printed size is 102. This checklist is longer, at 165 cards. The collector number is above the printed set size of 102. The listed rarity is Promo.

Glittering Star Pattern is listed as Ability. When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may switch in 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has 90 HP or less remaining to the Active Spot. The attack Swift lists 70 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance, or by any effects on your opponent's Active Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. The flavor text reads "When the stars flicker in the night sky, it flutters about, scattering a glowing powder." The regulation mark is H.

Ledian (#166) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Ledian 39/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Promo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Natsumi Yoshida illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Ledian list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Natsumi Yoshida. I count 9 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos set binder is where a full Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ledian can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
