Arbok 34/73 · Champion's Path

Arbok is Pokédex #024, generation 1 (Kanto). Arbok is a Stage 1 Darkness Pokémon with 120 HP. The card says it evolves from Ekans. In this catalog that name is Ekans (#023).

Arbok sits at 34/73 in Champion's Path, position 34 of 80. Before it is 33 Ekans, and after it is 35 Galarian Zigzagoon. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on September 25, 2020. The printed size is 73. This checklist is longer, at 80 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Sharp Fang lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless. Tail Snap is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Darkness, Colorless. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "After stunning its opponents with the pattern on its stomach, it quickly wraps them up in its body and waits for them to stop moving." The regulation mark is D.

Arbok (#024) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Arbok 31/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and nagimiso illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 16 other cards of Arbok list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads nagimiso. I count 156 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Champion's Path set binder is where a full Champion's Path set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Arbok can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
