Galvantula 65/182 · Paradox Rift

Galvantula is Pokédex #596, generation 5 (Unova). Galvantula is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Joltik. In this catalog that name is Joltik (#595).

Galvantula sits at 65/182 in Paradox Rift, position 65 of 266. Before it is 64 Joltik, and after it is 66 Zekrom. The set belongs to the Scarlet & Violet series. It was released on 3 November 2023. The printed size is 182. This checklist is longer, at 266 cards. The listed rarity is Common.

The attack Electrobullet lists 50 damage. The cost is Lightning. This attack also does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It lays traps of electrified threads near the nests of bird Pokémon, aiming to snare chicks that are not yet good at flying." The regulation mark is G.

Galvantula (#596) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Galvantula 46/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Common. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Taira Akitsu illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Galvantula list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Taira Akitsu. I count 56 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Paradox Rift set binder is where a full Paradox Rift set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Galvantula can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
