Nidoqueen 22/144 · Skyridge

Nidoqueen is Pokédex #031, generation 1 (Kanto). Nidoqueen is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 110 HP. The card says it evolves from Nidorina. In this catalog that name is Nidorina (#030).

Nidoqueen sits at 22/144 in Skyridge, position 22 of 182. Before it is 21 Moltres, and after it is 23 Omastar. The set belongs to the E-Card series. It was released on 12 May 2003. The printed size is 144. This checklist is longer, at 182 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Evolution Helper is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if Nidoqueen is on your Bench, you may search your deck for a card that evolves from your Active Pokémon and attach it to your Active Pokémon. (This counts as evolving that Pokémon.) Shuffle your deck afterward. The attack Double Claw lists 30+ damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 3.

Nidoqueen (#031) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Nidoqueen 7/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 17 other cards of Nidoqueen list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Skyridge set binder is where a full Skyridge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Nidoqueen can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
