Hydreigon 110/189 · Darkness Ablaze

Hydreigon is Pokédex #635, generation 5 (Unova). Hydreigon is a Stage 2 Darkness Pokémon with 160 HP. The card says it evolves from Zweilous. In this catalog that name is Zweilous (#634).

Hydreigon sits at 110/189 in Darkness Ablaze, position 110 of 201. Before it is 109 Zweilous, and after it is 111 Hoopa. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on August 14, 2020. The printed size is 189. This checklist is longer, at 201 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Dark Squall is listed as Ability. As often as you like during your turn, you may attach a Darkness Energy card from your hand to 1 of your Pokémon. The attack Pitch-Black Fangs lists 130 damage. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "There are a slew of stories about villages that were destroyed by Hydreigon. It bites anything that moves." The regulation mark is D.

Hydreigon (#635) has 24 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Hydreigon 79/101 in Noble Victories (2011). That card lists 150 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Hydreigon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kawayoo. I count 209 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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