Brock's Golem 20/132 · Gym Heroes

Golem is Pokédex #076, generation 1 (Kanto). Brock's Golem is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 40. The card says it evolves from Brock's Graveler. In this catalog that name is Graveler (#075).

Brock's Golem sits at 20/132 in Gym Heroes, position 20 of 132. Before it is 19 The Rocket's Trap, and after it is 21 Brock's Onix. The set belongs to the Gym series. It was released on 14 August 2000. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Rock Slide lists 20 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose up to 3 of them. This attack does 10 damage to each of them. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Fissure is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 4.

Golem (#076) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Golem 36/62 in Fossil (1999). That card is named Golem, while this one is Brock's Golem. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 25 other cards of Golem list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Gym Heroes set binder is where a full Gym Heroes set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Golem can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, and Brock and his Pokémon. I still need this card.
