Lanturn 58/160 · Primal Clash

Primal Clash is a set in the XY series. It was released on February 4, 2015. The printed size is 160. This checklist is longer, at 164 cards. Lanturn is 58/160, in position 58 of 164 on this checklist. Before it is 57 Chinchou, and after it is 59 Electrike. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Lanturn is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 100 HP. In the Pokédex this is Lanturn (#171), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Chinchou. In this catalog that name is Chinchou (#170).

MAHOU illustrated this card. The same name is on 122 other cards in the catalog.

Lanturn (#171) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Lanturn 38/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and MAHOU illustrated this one. 25 other cards of Lanturn list a different HP.

The attack Dive lists 40 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to this Pokémon during your opponent's next turn. Take Down is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. This Pokémon does 20 damage to itself. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It blinds prey with an intense burst of light. With the prey incapacitated, the Pokémon swallows it in a single gulp."

I keep a set binder for Primal Clash, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Primal Clash set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lanturn can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
