Suicune 19/132 · Secret Wonders

Secret Wonders is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on 1 November 2007. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. Suicune is 19/132, in position 19 of 132 on this checklist. Before it is 18 Salamence, and after it is 20 Venusaur. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Suicune is a Basic Water Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 44. In the Pokédex this is Suicune (#245), generation 2 (Johto).

Ryo Ueda illustrated this card. The same name is on 462 other cards in the catalog.

Suicune (#245) has 30 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Suicune 53/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. 24 other cards of Suicune list a different HP.

Aqua Recover is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn, when you put Suicune from your hand onto your Bench, you may search your discard pile for up to 3 Water Pokémon, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. The attack Cure Stream lists 60 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water. During your opponent's next turn, any damage done by attacks from the Defending Pokémon is reduced by 20 (before applying Weakness and Resistance). Weakness is Lightning +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It races around the world to purify fouled water. It dashes away with the north wind."

I keep a set binder for Secret Wonders, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Secret Wonders set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Suicune can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
