Blastoise VMAX, SWSH Black Star Promos #SWSH103

Blastoise is Pokédex #009, generation 1 (Kanto). Blastoise VMAX is a VMAX Water Pokémon with 330 HP. The card says it evolves from Blastoise V. In this catalog that name is Blastoise (#009).

Blastoise VMAX sits at SWSH103/307 in SWSH Black Star Promos, position 103 of 304. Before it is SWSH102 Venusaur VMAX, and after it is SWSH104 Victini V. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on November 15, 2019. The printed size is 307. This checklist is longer, at 304 cards. The listed rarity is Promo.

The attack Grand Falls lists 120 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water. Search your deck for up to 3 Water Energy cards and attach them to your Benched Pokémon in any way you like. Then, shuffle your deck. G-Max Bombard is another attack lists 220 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water, Water. This attack also does 30 damage to 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 3.

Blastoise (#009) has 44 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Blastoise 2/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Blastoise, while this one is Blastoise VMAX. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 330 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 40 other cards of Blastoise list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

SWSH Black Star Promos set binder is where a full SWSH Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Blastoise can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Kanto starters, without Charizard. I still need this card.
