Volbeat 17/168 · Celestial Storm

Celestial Storm is a set in the Sun & Moon series. It was released on 3 August 2018. The printed size is 168. This checklist is longer, at 187 cards. Volbeat is 17/168, in position 18 of 187 on this checklist. Before it is 16 Masquerain, and after it is 18 Illumise. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Volbeat is a Basic Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Volbeat (#313), generation 3 (Hoenn).

Saya Tsuruta illustrated this card. The same name is on 123 other cards in the catalog.

Volbeat (#313) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Volbeat 53/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kyoko Umemoto illustrated that card, and Saya Tsuruta illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Volbeat list a different HP.

The attack Pheromone Catch lists 20+ damage. The cost is Grass. If your Illumise used Pheromone Signals during your last turn, this attack does 100 more damage. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It lives around clean ponds. At night, its rear lights up. It converses with others by flashing its light."

I keep a set binder for Celestial Storm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Celestial Storm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Volbeat can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
