Simisear 16/99 · Next Destinies

Simisear is Pokédex #514, generation 5 (Unova). Simisear is a Stage 1 Fire Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Pansear. In this catalog that name is Pansear (#513).

Simisear sits at 16/99 in Next Destinies, position 16 of 103. Before it is 15 Pansear, and after it is 17 Darumaka. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on 8 February 2012. The printed size is 99. This checklist is longer, at 103 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Collect lists no damage number. The cost is Fire. Draw 3 cards. Stadium Burn is another attack lists 30+ damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless. If there is any Stadium card in play, this attack does 30 more damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Burned. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It loves sweets because they become energy for the fire burning inside its body."

Simisear (#514) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Simisear 22/114 in Black & White (2011). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Shin Nagasawa illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Simisear list a different HP.

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

Next Destinies set binder is where a full Next Destinies set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Simisear can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
