Pelipper 50/100 · Sandstorm

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 50/100 in Sandstorm, position 50 of 100. Before it is 49 Nuzleaf, and after it is 51 Quilava. 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.

The attack Water Gun lists 30+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Pelipper but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 20 damage in this way. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30.

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 19/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Pelipper list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 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. Pelipper can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
