Ludicolo 37/160 · Primal Clash

Ludicolo is Pokédex #272, generation 3 (Hoenn). Ludicolo is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 130 HP. The card says it evolves from Lombre. In this catalog that name is Lombre (#271).

Ludicolo sits at 37/160 in Primal Clash, position 37 of 164. Before it is 36 Swampert, and after it is 38 Wailord-EX. 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 Astonish lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless. Choose a random card from your opponent's hand. Your opponent reveals that card and shuffles it into his or her deck. Splash Dance is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. During your next turn, this Pokémon's Splash Dance attack does 60 more damage (before applying Weakness and Resistance). Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2. α Recovery is the ancient trait on this card. When this Pokémon is healed, double the amount healed. The flavor text reads "The rhythm of bright, festive music activates Ludicolo's cells, making it more powerful."

Ludicolo (#272) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ludicolo 7/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Ludicolo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kawayoo. I count 209 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. Ludicolo can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
