Pelipper 19/109 · Ruby & Sapphire

Pelipper is Pokédex #279, generation 3 (Hoenn). Pelipper is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Wingull. In this catalog that name is Wingull (#278).

Pelipper sits at 19/109 in Ruby & Sapphire, position 19 of 109. Before it is 18 Nosepass, and after it is 20 Sceptile. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on 1 July 2003. The printed size is 109, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Stockpile lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. During your next turn, Spit Up's base damage is 70 instead of 30, and Swallow's base damage is 60 instead of 20. Spit Up is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Swallow is another attack lists 20 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. After your attack, remove from Pelipper the number of damage counters equal to the damage you did to the Defending Pokémon. If Pelipper has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 1.

Pelipper (#279) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Pelipper 50/100 in Sandstorm (2003). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Pelipper list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Ruby & Sapphire set binder is where a full Ruby & Sapphire set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pelipper can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
