Elekid is Pokédex #239, generation 2 (Johto). Elekid is a Basic Lightning Pokémon with 40 HP. The card lists Electabuzz, Electabuzz (#125) under evolves to.

Elekid sits at 36/100 in Sandstorm, position 36 of 100. Before it is 35 Electabuzz, and after it is 37 Fearow. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on 18 September 2003. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may put Electabuzz from your hand onto Elekid (this counts as evolving Elekid) and remove all damage counters from Elekid. The attack Gather Energy lists no damage number. The cost is Lightning. Search your deck for a basic Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Pokémon. Shuffle your deck afterward. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Elekid (#239) has 7 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 7 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2023. The earliest other card is Elekid 22/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 30 HP, and this one lists 40 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Miki Tanaka illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 5 other cards of Elekid list a different HP.

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

Sandstorm set binder is where a full Sandstorm set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Elekid can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Baby Pokémon. I still need this card.
