Swampert 35/160 · Primal Clash

Swampert is Pokédex #260, generation 3 (Hoenn). Swampert is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 150 HP. The card says it evolves from Marshtomp. In this catalog that name is Marshtomp (#259).

Swampert sits at 35/160 in Primal Clash, position 35 of 164. Before it is 34 Marshtomp, and after it is 36 Swampert. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on February 4, 2015. The printed size is 160. This checklist is longer, at 164 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Water Arrow lists no damage number. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 60 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Waterfall is another attack lists 120 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×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."

Swampert (#260) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2021. The earliest other card is Swampert 13/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Shigenori Negishi illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Swampert list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shigenori Negishi. I count 151 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Primal Clash set binder is where a full Primal Clash set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Swampert can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
