Silcoon 4/108 · Roaring Skies

Roaring Skies is a set in the XY series. It was released on May 6, 2015. The printed size is 108. This checklist is longer, at 112 cards. Silcoon is 4/108, in position 4 of 112 on this checklist. Before it is 3 Wurmple, and after it is 5 Beautifly. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Silcoon is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Silcoon (#266), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Wurmple. In this catalog that name is Wurmple (#265). The card lists Beautifly, Beautifly (#267) under evolves to.

Shigenori Negishi illustrated this card. The same name is on 151 other cards in the catalog.

Silcoon (#266) has 8 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Silcoon 43/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Hajime Kusajima illustrated that card, and Shigenori Negishi illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 2 other cards of Silcoon list a different HP.

The attack String Shot lists 10 damage. The cost is Grass. Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It drinks dew that collects on its silk and waits for evolution. Its hard cocoon repels attacks."

I keep a set binder for Roaring Skies, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Roaring Skies set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Silcoon can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
