Xatu 29/108 · Roaring Skies

Xatu is Pokédex #178, generation 2 (Johto). Xatu is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Natu. In this catalog that name is Natu (#177).

Xatu sits at 29/108 in Roaring Skies, position 29 of 112. Before it is 28 Natu, and after it is 30 Shuppet. 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 Rare.

The attack Future Sight lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Look at the top 5 cards of either player's deck and put them back on top of that player's deck in any order. Stressful Eye is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. Your opponent reveals his or her hand. Discard a Trainer card you find there. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "They say that it stays still and quiet because it is seeing both the past and future at the same time."

Xatu (#178) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Xatu 52/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. 17 other cards of Xatu list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hajime Kusajima. I count 206 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. Xatu can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
