Swampert 64/264 · Fusion Strike

Fusion Strike is a set in the Sword & Shield series. It was released on November 12, 2021. The printed size is 264. This checklist is longer, at 284 cards. Swampert is 64/264, in position 64 of 284 on this checklist. Before it is 63 Marshtomp, and after it is 65 Clamperl. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Swampert is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 170 HP. In the Pokédex this is Swampert (#260), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Marshtomp. In this catalog that name is Marshtomp (#259).

Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this card. The same name is on 471 other cards in the catalog.

Swampert (#260) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2018. The earliest other card is Swampert 13/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 170 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Swampert list a different HP.

Muddy Maker is listed as Ability. Once during your turn, you may attach a Water Energy card or a Fighting Energy card from your hand to 1 of your Pokémon. The attack Earthquake lists 180 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. This attack also does 20 damage to each of your Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It can swim while towing a large ship. It bashes down foes with a swing of its thick arms." The regulation mark is E.

I keep a set binder for Fusion Strike, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Fusion Strike set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Swampert can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
