Yanmega 17/146 · Legends Awakened

Yanmega is Pokédex #469, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Yanmega is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 47. The card says it evolves from Yanma. In this catalog that name is Yanma (#193).

Yanmega sits at 17/146 in Legends Awakened, position 17 of 146. Before it is 16 Spiritomb, and after it is 18 Armaldo. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on 1 August 2008. The printed size is 146, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Sonic Wave lists 10 damage. Does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Your opponent switches the Defending Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon. Pursue and Turn is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Grass, Grass, Colorless, Colorless. If the Defending Pokémon already has 2 or more damage counters on it, this attack does 60 damage plus 20 more damage and switch Yanmega with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning +20. Resistance is Fighting -20. The flavor text reads "By churning its wings, it creates shock waves that inflict critical internal injuries to foes."

Yanmega (#469) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2025. The earliest other card is Yanmega 5/17 in POP Series 8 (2008). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kent Kanetsuna illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Yanmega list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kent Kanetsuna. I count 74 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Legends Awakened set binder is where a full Legends Awakened set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Yanmega can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
