Noivern V 196/203 · Evolving Skies

Noivern is Pokédex #715, generation 6 (Kalos). Noivern V is a Basic V Dragon Pokémon with 200 HP.

Noivern V sits at 196/203 in Evolving Skies, position 196 of 237. Before it is 195 Noivern V, and after it is 197 Duraludon V. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on August 27, 2021. The printed size is 203. This checklist is longer, at 237 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Ultra.

The attack Boomburst lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic. This attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Synchro Loud is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Psychic, Darkness. If you have the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent, this attack does 120 more damage. The card text says: V rule: When your Pokémon V is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards. The regulation mark is E.

Noivern (#715) has 20 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2014 to 2026. The earliest other card is Noivern 77/111 in Furious Fists (2014). That card is named Noivern, while this one is Noivern V. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 200 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Ultra. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Noivern list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Evolving Skies set binder is where a full Evolving Skies set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Noivern can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
