Sabrina's Venomoth 34/132 · Gym Heroes

Gym Heroes is a set in the Gym series. It was released on 14 August 2000. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. Sabrina's Venomoth is 34/132, in position 34 of 132 on this checklist. Before it is 33 Rocket's Snorlax, and after it is 35 Blaine's Growlithe. The listed rarity is Rare.

Sabrina's Venomoth is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 22. In the Pokédex this is Venomoth (#049), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Sabrina's Venonat. In this catalog that name is Venonat (#048).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Venomoth (#049) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Venomoth 13/64 in Jungle (1999). That card is named Venomoth, while this one is Sabrina's Venomoth. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. 15 other cards of Venomoth list a different HP.

The attack Healing Pollen lists no damage number. The cost is Grass. Flip 3 coins. For each heads, remove 1 damage counter from each of your Pokémon. If a Pokémon has fewer damage counters than the number of heads, remove all of them. Sonic Distortion is another attack lists 10 damage. The cost is Psychic. Flip 2 coins. If 1 or both of them are heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30.

I keep a set binder for Gym Heroes, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Gym Heroes set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Venomoth 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 Sabrina and her Pokémon. I still need this card.
