Golem 137/264 · Fusion Strike

Golem is Pokédex #076, generation 1 (Kanto). Golem is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 180 HP. The card says it evolves from Graveler. In this catalog that name is Graveler (#075).

Golem sits at 137/264 in Fusion Strike, position 137 of 284. Before it is 136 Graveler, and after it is 138 Onix. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on November 12, 2021. The printed size is 264. This checklist is longer, at 284 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Desperate Blast is listed as Ability. If this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is Knocked Out by damage from an attack from your opponent's Pokémon, put 10 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon. The attack Double-Edge lists 160 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. This Pokémon also does 30 damage to itself. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "It detonates its own body. The power from that explosion can propel it up steep mountain paths with amazing speed." The regulation mark is E.

Golem (#076) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Golem 36/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 180 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and KEIICHIRO ITO illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Golem list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads KEIICHIRO ITO. I count 50 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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