Aggron 59/101 · Plasma Blast

Aggron is Pokédex #306, generation 3 (Hoenn). Aggron is a Stage 2 Metal Pokémon with 140 HP. The card says it evolves from Lairon. In this catalog that name is Lairon (#305).

Aggron sits at 59/101 in Plasma Blast, position 59 of 105. Before it is 58 Lairon, and after it is 60 Jirachi-EX. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on 14 August 2013. The printed size is 101. This checklist is longer, at 105 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Knock Back lists 50 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless. Your opponent switches the Defending Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon. Aura of the Land is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Metal, Metal, Colorless, Colorless. Does 20 damage to each Benched Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's). (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "It claims an entire mountain as its own. The more wounds it has, the more it has battled, so don't take it lightly."

Aggron (#306) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2024. The earliest other card is Aggron 1/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Aggron list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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