Granbull 23/39 · Kalos Starter Set

Granbull is Pokédex #210, generation 2 (Johto). Granbull is a Stage 1 Fairy Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Snubbull. In this catalog that name is Snubbull (#209).

Granbull sits at 23/39 in Kalos Starter Set, position 23 of 39. Before it is 22 Snubbull, and after it is 24 Swirlix. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on 8 November 2013. The printed size is 39, and the checklist is the same length.

The attack Headbutt lists 30 damage. The cost is Fairy, Colorless. Double Stomp is another attack lists 50+ damage. The cost is Fairy, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 20 more damage for each heads. Weakness is Metal ×2. Resistance is Darkness -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It is timid in spite of its looks. If it becomes enraged, however, it will strike with its huge fangs."

Granbull (#210) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Granbull 37/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 15 other cards of Granbull list a different HP.

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

Kalos Starter Set set binder is where a full Kalos Starter Set set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Granbull can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
