About the Light Vaporeon card
Light Vaporeon is card 52 of 113 in Neo Destiny, released in February 2002, an Uncommon. It is a Stage 1 Water-type with 80 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Eevee, which places Light Vaporeon deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.
Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. Himeno is one of the most-recognized vintage illustrators, with a softer, more textured style that shows up across the Jungle and Neo runs.
The card's flavor text gives Vaporeon a line of lore: "If its fins being to vibrate, it is a sign that it will begin raining soon."
