Question 1

What is the significance of the "Shining" term on this card?

Accepted Answer

On this specific card, "Shining" refers to its special variant status and the vibrant, full-art illustration, rather than indicating a different color variant as seen in older "Shining" Pokémon cards. It signifies a unique and often more collectible version of the Pokémon.

Question 2

Can the Time Recall Ability be used multiple times in a turn?

Accepted Answer

Yes, each of your evolved Pokémon can use an attack from its previous Evolutions through the Time Recall Ability, provided you have the necessary Energy for each attack you wish to use. The ability itself does not limit the number of times it can be activated by different Pokémon.

Question 3

Is this Celebi card considered a rare card?

Accepted Answer

"Illus." stands for "Illustrator," and the name following it, Sanosuke Sakuma, identifies the artist who created the artwork for this specific Pokémon card. The illustrator's work is a key component of the card's visual appeal.

Question 5

How does this card's HP compare to other basic Pokémon cards?

Accepted Answer

With 70 HP, this Shining Celebi has a moderate HP for a basic Pokémon card, especially for a mythical Pokémon. While some basic Pokémon have higher HP, 70 HP provides a decent amount of resilience in gameplay.
