Vigoroth 50/107 · Deoxys

Vigoroth is Pokédex #288, generation 3 (Hoenn). Vigoroth is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Slakoth. In this catalog that name is Slakoth (#287). The card lists Slaking, Slaking (#289) under evolves to.

Vigoroth sits at 50/107 in Deoxys, position 50 of 108. Before it is 49 Swellow, and after it is 51 Weezing. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on 1 February 2005. The printed size is 107. This checklist is longer, at 108 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Vigorous Aura is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Vigoroth is your Active Pokémon, attacks by each player's Active Pokémon (both if there are 2) do 10 more damage to any Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Scratch lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

Vigoroth (#288) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2024. The earliest other card is Vigoroth 47/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 8 other cards of Vigoroth list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Deoxys set binder is where a full Deoxys set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Vigoroth can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
