Garchomp, Brilliant Stars #109

Garchomp is Pokédex #445, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Garchomp is a Stage 2 Dragon Pokémon with 160 HP. The card says it evolves from Gabite. In this catalog that name is Gabite (#444).

Garchomp sits at 109/172 in Brilliant Stars, position 109 of 186. Before it is 108 Gabite, and after it is 110 Axew. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on February 25, 2022. The printed size is 172. This checklist is longer, at 186 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Sonic Slip is listed as Ability. When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may prevent all damage from and effects of attacks from your opponent's Pokémon done to this Pokémon until the end of your opponent's next turn. The attack Dragonblade lists 160 damage. The cost is Water, Fighting. Discard the top 2 cards of your deck. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Garchomp makes its home in volcanic mountains. It flies through the sky as fast as a jet airplane, hunting down as much prey as it can." The regulation mark is F.

Garchomp (#445) has 36 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Garchomp C LV.X DP46/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Garchomp C LV.X, while this one is Garchomp. That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Shizurow illustrated that card, and Nurikabe illustrated this one. 36 other cards of Garchomp list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Nurikabe. I count 16 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Brilliant Stars set binder is where a full Brilliant Stars set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Garchomp can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
