Ludicolo 12/160 · Primal Clash

Primal Clash is a set in the XY series. It was released on 4 February 2015. The printed size is 160. This checklist is longer, at 164 cards. Ludicolo is 12/160, in position 12 of 164 on this checklist. Before it is 11 Lombre, and after it is 13 Surskit. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Ludicolo is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Ludicolo (#272), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Lombre. In this catalog that name is Lombre (#271).

Mizue illustrated this card. The same name is on 184 other cards in the catalog.

Ludicolo (#272) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ludicolo 7/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Mizue illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Ludicolo list a different HP.

Captivating Rhythm is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, switch 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon with his or her Active Pokémon. The attack Solar Ray lists 80 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Heal 20 damage from each of your Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "The rhythm of bright, festive music activates Ludicolo's cells, making it more powerful."

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