Kakuna 14/165 · 151

Kakuna is Pokédex #014, generation 1 (Kanto). Kakuna is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Weedle. In this catalog that name is Weedle (#013). The card lists Beedrill, Beedrill (#015) under evolves to.

Kakuna sits at 14/165 in 151, position 14 of 207. Before it is 13 Weedle, and after it is 15 Beedrill. The set belongs to the Scarlet & Violet series. It was released on 22 September 2023. The printed size is 165. This checklist is longer, at 207 cards. The listed rarity is Common.

Kakuna (#014) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Kakuna 33/102 in Base (1999). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Common. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and nisimono illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 6 other cards of Kakuna list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads nisimono. I count 10 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

151 set binder is where a full 151 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kakuna can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Bug Pokémon and Modern living dex: the 151. I still need this card.
