Nidoqueen 69/160 · 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. Nidoqueen is 69/160, in position 69 of 164 on this checklist. Before it is 68 Nidoqueen, and after it is 70 Tentacool. The listed rarity is Rare.

Nidoqueen is a Stage 2 Psychic Pokémon with 140 HP. In the Pokédex this is Nidoqueen (#031), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Nidorina. In this catalog that name is Nidorina (#030).

PLANETA illustrated this card. The same name is on 47 other cards in the catalog.

Nidoqueen (#031) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Nidoqueen 7/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and PLANETA illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 17 other cards of Nidoqueen list a different HP.

The attack Poison Jab lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. Dynamite Punch is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Psychic, Psychic, Colorless. This Pokémon does 20 damage to itself. Don't apply Weakness to this damage. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2. Ω Barrage is the ancient trait on this card. This Pokémon may attack twice a turn. (If the first attack Knocks Out your opponent's Active Pokémon, you may attack again after your opponent chooses a new Active Pokémon.) The flavor text reads "The body is covered by stiff, needle-like scales. If it becomes excited, the needles bristle outwards."

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. Nidoqueen can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
