Arceus is a set in the Platinum series. It was released on 4 November 2009. The printed size is 99. This checklist is longer, at 111 cards. Salamence LV.X is 98/99, in position 98 of 111 on this checklist. Before it is 97 Gengar LV.X, and after it is 99 Tangrowth LV.X. The listed rarity is Rare Holo LV.X.
Salamence LV.X is a Level-Up Colorless Pokémon with 160 HP. The card lists level X. In the Pokédex this is Salamence (#373), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Salamence. In this catalog that name is Salamence (#373).
Ryo Ueda illustrated this card. The same name is on 462 other cards in the catalog.
Salamence (#373) has 30 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Salamence 10/97 in Dragon (2003). That card is named Salamence, while this one is Salamence LV.X. That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo LV.X. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. 26 other cards of Salamence list a different HP.
Double Fall is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), when you put Salamence LV.X from your hand onto your Active Salamence, you may use this power. For each of your opponent's Pokémon that is Knocked Out by damage from Salamence's attacks this turn, take 1 more Prize card. The attack Steam Blast lists 100 damage. The cost is Fire, Water, Colorless, Colorless. Discard an Energy card attached to Salamence. Weakness is Colorless ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: Put this card onto your Active Salamence. Salamence LV.X can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous level.
I keep a set binder for Arceus, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Arceus set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Salamence can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Pokémon LV.X. I still need this card.
Once during your turn (before your attack), when you put Salamence LV.X from your hand onto your Active Salamence, you may use this power. For each of your opponent's Pokémon that is Knocked Out by damage from Salamence's attacks this turn, take 1 more Prize card.
