XY is a set in the XY series. It was released on February 5, 2014. The printed size is 146, and the checklist is the same length. Ekans is 47/146, in position 47 of 146 on this checklist. Before it is 46 Emolga-EX, and after it is 48 Arbok. The listed rarity is Common.
Ekans is a Basic Psychic Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Ekans (#023), generation 1 (Kanto). The card lists Arbok, Arbok (#024) under evolves to.
Shigenori Negishi illustrated this card. The same name is on 151 other cards in the catalog.
Ekans (#023) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ekans 46/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Shigenori Negishi illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 11 other cards of Ekans list a different HP.
The attack Bite lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "The older it gets, the longer it grows. At night, it wraps its long body around tree branches to rest."
I keep a set binder for XY, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the XY set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ekans can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
