Rocket's Hitmonchan is a Basic Fighting Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 29. In the Pokédex this is Hitmonchan (#107), generation 1 (Kanto).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Hitmonchan (#107) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Hitmonchan 7/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Hitmonchan, while this one is Rocket's Hitmonchan. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 17 other cards of Hitmonchan list a different HP.

The attack Crosscounter lists no damage number. The cost is Fighting. If an attack does damage to Rocket's Hitmonchan during your opponent's next turn (even if Rocket's Hitmonchan is Knocked Out), flip a coin. If heads, Rocket's Hitmonchan attacks your opponent's Active Pokémon for double that amount of damage. (If Rocket's Hitmonchan takes 20 damage, it does 40 damage to that Pokémon.) Magnum Punch is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Best of Game, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Best of Game set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Hitmonchan can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon and Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
