# Pansage (Japanese) #002 — XY Beginning Set

## Summary

Pansage sits at the bottom of the rarity ladder here, a plain common in a Japanese starter product built to teach new players, which makes its appeal personal rather than financial. The image shows the green monkey perched in a leafy tree, one arm raised in a cheerful wave against bright foliage. It arrived in November 2013 in the Japanese XY Beginning Set, the same day as its English Kalos Starter Set twin.
