Keldeo is Pokédex #647, generation 5 (Unova). Keldeo is a Basic Water Pokémon with 90 HP.

Keldeo sits at XY118/211 in XY Black Star Promos, position 119 of 216. Before it is XY117 Victini, and after it is XY119 Genesect. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on 12 October 2013. The printed size is 211. This checklist is longer, at 216 cards. The listed rarity is Promo.

Justified is listed as Ability. This Pokémon's attacks do 50 more damage to your opponent's Darkness Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Sacred Sword lists 100 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water. This Pokémon can't use Sacred Sword during your next turn. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "When it is resolute, its body fills with power and it becomes swifter. Its jumps are too fast to follow."

Keldeo (#647) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Keldeo BW60/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). Both list 90 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. 18 other cards of Keldeo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shin Nagasawa. I count 303 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

XY Black Star Promos set binder is where a full XY Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Keldeo can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Swords of Justice. I still need this card.
