Slaking 12/109 · Ruby & Sapphire
Ruby & Sapphire is a set in the EX series. It was released on 1 July 2003. The printed size is 109, and the checklist is the same length. Slaking is 12/109, in position 12 of 109 on this checklist. Before it is 11 Sceptile, and after it is 13 Swampert. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.
Slaking is a Stage 2 Colorless Pokémon with 120 HP. In the Pokédex this is Slaking (#289), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Vigoroth. In this catalog that name is Vigoroth (#288).
Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.
Slaking (#289) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2005 to 2024. The earliest other card is Slaking 15/107 in Deoxys (2005). Both list 120 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Slaking list a different HP.
Lazy is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Slaking is your Active Pokémon, your opponent's Pokémon can't use any Poké-Powers. The attack Critical Move lists 100 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Discard a basic Energy card attached to Slaking or this attack does nothing. Slaking can't attack during your next turn. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 3.
I keep a set binder for Ruby & Sapphire, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Ruby & Sapphire set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Slaking can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
