Gardevoir 54/98 · Ancient Origins

Ancient Origins is a set in the XY series. It was released on 12 August 2015. The printed size is 98. This checklist is longer, at 101 cards. Gardevoir is 54/98, in position 54 of 101 on this checklist. Before it is 53 Kirlia, and after it is 55 Cottonee. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Gardevoir is a Stage 2 Fairy Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Gardevoir (#282), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Kirlia. In this catalog that name is Kirlia (#281).

TOKIYA illustrated this card. The same name is on 93 other cards in the catalog.

Gardevoir (#282) has 55 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 31 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Gardevoir 7/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and TOKIYA illustrated this one. 52 other cards of Gardevoir list a different HP.

Bright Heal is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may heal 20 damage from each of your Pokémon. The attack Telekinesis lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 50 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. Weakness is Metal ×2. Resistance is Darkness -20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It has the power to predict the future. Its power peaks when it is protecting its Trainer."

I keep a set binder for Ancient Origins, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Ancient Origins set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gardevoir can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir, and Gallade. I still need this card.
