Accelgor 8/101 · Plasma Blast

Accelgor is Pokédex #617, generation 5 (Unova). Accelgor is a Stage 1 Team Plasma Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Shelmet. In this catalog that name is Shelmet (#616).

Accelgor sits at 8/101 in Plasma Blast, position 8 of 105. Before it is 7 Shelmet, and after it is 9 Virizion-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 Retribution lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless. If an Escavalier you had in play was Knocked Out by damage from an opponent's attack during his or her last turn, put all Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon into your opponent's hand. Signal Beam is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Fire ×2. The flavor text reads "When its body dries out, it weakens. So it wraps a membrane around itself for protection while it spits poison."

Accelgor (#617) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Accelgor 12/101 in Noble Victories (2011). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Accelgor list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 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. Accelgor can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
