Volbeat 92/106 · Great Encounters

Great Encounters is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on 1 February 2008. The printed size is 106, and the checklist is the same length. Volbeat is 92/106, in position 92 of 106 on this checklist. Before it is 91 Unown [L], and after it is 93 Weedle. The listed rarity is Common.

Volbeat is a Basic Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 34. In the Pokédex this is Volbeat (#313), generation 3 (Hoenn).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Volbeat (#313) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Volbeat 53/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Common. Kyoko Umemoto illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Volbeat list a different HP.

Light Conduct is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if you have Illumise in play, you may search your discard pile for a Supporter card, show it to your opponent, and put it on top of your deck. This power can't be used if Volbeat is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Firefly Light lists 20 damage. The cost is Grass, Grass. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Fire +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It communicates with others by lighting up its rear at night. It loves ILLUMISE's sweet aroma."

I keep a set binder for Great Encounters, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Great Encounters set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Volbeat can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
