Vaporeon 6/17 · POP Series 3

Vaporeon is Pokédex #134, generation 1 (Kanto). Vaporeon is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 70 HP. The card says it evolves from Eevee. In this catalog that name is Eevee (#133).

Vaporeon sits at 6/17 in POP Series 3, position 6 of 17. Before it is 5 Plusle, and after it is 7 Combusken. The set belongs to the POP series. It was released on 1 April 2006. The printed size is 17, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Bite lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless. Water Gun is another attack lists 30+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Does 30 damage plus 20 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Vaporeon but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 40 damage in this way. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Vaporeon (#134) has 36 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Vaporeon 12/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 30 other cards of Vaporeon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

POP Series 3 set binder is where a full POP Series 3 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Vaporeon can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Eevee and the Eeveelutions and POP Series. I still need this card.
