Sharpedo 28/145 · Guardians Rising

Sharpedo is Pokédex #319, generation 3 (Hoenn). Sharpedo is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Carvanha. In this catalog that name is Carvanha (#318).

Sharpedo sits at 28/145 in Guardians Rising, position 30 of 180. Before it is 27 Carvanha, and after it is 29 Wailmer. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on 5 May 2017. The printed size is 145. This checklist is longer, at 180 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Jet Headbutt lists 70 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. The flavor text reads "It pursues its prey at speeds of 75 mph and finishes them off with fangs that can crush iron. It is known as the bully of the sea."

Sharpedo (#319) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Sharpedo 22/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Hajime Kusajima illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Sharpedo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Guardians Rising set binder is where a full Guardians Rising set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Sharpedo can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
