Chesnaught, XY Black Star Promos #XY68

Chesnaught is Pokédex #652, generation 6 (Kalos). Chesnaught is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 160 HP. The card says it evolves from Quilladin. In this catalog that name is Quilladin (#651).

Chesnaught sits at XY68/211 in XY Black Star Promos, position 69 of 216. Before it is XY67a Jirachi, and after it is XY69 Rayquaza-EX. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on October 12, 2013. The printed size is 211. This checklist is longer, at 216 cards. The listed rarity is Promo.

The attack Spike Lariat lists 60+ damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. If your opponent's Active Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 60 more damage. Adamantine Press is another attack lists 100 damage. The cost is Grass, Grass, Colorless, Colorless. During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to this Pokémon by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "When it takes a defensive posture with its fists guarding its face, it could withstand a bomb blast."

Chesnaught (#652) has 8 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 6 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2013 to 2026. The earliest other card is Chesnaught-EX XY18/211 in XY Black Star Promos (2013). That card is named Chesnaught-EX, while this one is Chesnaught. That card lists 180 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Chesnaught list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

XY Black Star Promos set binder is where a full XY Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Chesnaught can fill a slot in Generation 6 binder (Kalos). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards and Kalos starters. I still need this card.
