Ninjask 10/108 · Roaring Skies

Ninjask is Pokédex #291, generation 3 (Hoenn). Ninjask is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Nincada. In this catalog that name is Nincada (#290). The card lists Shedinja, Shedinja (#292) under evolves to.

Ninjask sits at 10/108 in Roaring Skies, position 10 of 112. Before it is 9 Nincada, and after it is 11 Shedinja. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on May 6, 2015. The printed size is 108. This checklist is longer, at 112 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Wing Buzz is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), if this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, you may discard a card from your hand. If you do, discard the top card of your opponent's deck. The attack Afterimage Assault lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless. Search your deck for up to 2 Ninjask and put them onto your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward. Weakness is Fire ×2. The flavor text reads "Because it moves so quickly, it sometimes becomes unseeable. It congregates around tree sap."

Ninjask (#291) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ninjask 18/97 in Dragon (2003). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Hajime Kusajima illustrated that card, and Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated this one. 7 other cards of Ninjask list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Sumiyoshi Kizuki. I count 212 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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