Seadra is Pokédex #117, generation 1 (Kanto). Seadra is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 23. The card says it evolves from Horsea. In this catalog that name is Horsea (#116). The card lists Kingdra, Kingdra (#230) under evolves to.

Seadra sits at 42/62 in Fossil, position 42 of 62. Before it is 41 Sandslash, and after it is 43 Slowbro. The set belongs to the Base series. It was released on October 10, 1999. The printed size is 62, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Water Gun lists 20+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Does 20 damage plus 10 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Seadra but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 20 damage in this way. Agility is another attack lists 20 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, during your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Seadra. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Seadra (#117) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Misty's Seadra 9/132 in Gym Heroes (2000). That card is named Misty's Seadra, while this one is Seadra. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Seadra list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Fossil set binder is where a full Fossil set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Seadra can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
