Mienshao 57/111 · Furious Fists

Mienshao is Pokédex #620, generation 5 (Unova). Mienshao is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Mienfoo. In this catalog that name is Mienfoo (#619).

Mienshao sits at 57/111 in Furious Fists, position 58 of 114. Before it is 56 Mienfoo, and after it is 58 Landorus. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on August 13, 2014. The printed size is 111. This checklist is longer, at 114 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Aero Turn lists 40 damage. The cost is Fighting. Return this Pokémon and all cards attached to it to your hand. High Jump Kick is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It wields the fur on its arm like a whip. Its arm attacks come with such rapidity that they cannot even be seen."

Mienshao (#620) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Mienshao 70/101 in Noble Victories (2011). Both list 90 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and TOKIYA illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Mienshao list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads TOKIYA. I count 93 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Furious Fists set binder is where a full Furious Fists set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Mienshao can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
