Whiscash 40/160 · Primal Clash

Whiscash is Pokédex #340, generation 3 (Hoenn). Whiscash is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Barboach. In this catalog that name is Barboach (#339).

Whiscash sits at 40/160 in Primal Clash, position 40 of 164. Before it is 39 Barboach, and after it is 41 Whiscash. 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 Uncommon.

The attack Amnesia lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless. Choose 1 of your opponent's Active Pokémon's attacks. That Pokémon can't use that attack during your opponent's next turn. Rising Lunge is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 more damage. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It makes its nest at the bottom of swamps. It will eat anything—if it is alive, Whiscash will eat it."

Whiscash (#340) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2023. The earliest other card is Whiscash 48/97 in Dragon (2003). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 10 other cards of Whiscash list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoyo Kimura. I count 256 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. Whiscash can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
