Plusle 8/97 · Dragon

Plusle is Pokédex #311, generation 3 (Hoenn). Plusle is a Basic Lightning Pokémon with 50 HP.

Plusle sits at 8/97 in Dragon, position 8 of 100. Before it is 7 Minun, and after it is 9 Roselia. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on 24 November 2003. The printed size is 97. This checklist is longer, at 100 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Chain of Events is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Plusle is your Active Pokémon, whenever your other Active Pokémon, if any, attacks, you may use Cheer On after the first attack (you still need the necessary Energy to use Cheer On). You can't use Cheer On more than once in this way even if your other Active Pokémon has the Chain of Events Poké-Body. The attack Cheer On lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Remove 1 damage counter from each of your Pokémon (including Plusle). Extra Circuit is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 20 damage to that Pokémon. If you choose Pokémon-ex, this attack does 40 damage instead. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -30. Retreat cost is 1.

Plusle (#311) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2023. The earliest other card is Plusle 69/101 in Hidden Legends (2004). Both list 50 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Rare Holo. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Plusle list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsuko Nishida. I count 408 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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