Krookodile is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 140 HP. In the Pokédex this is Krookodile (#553), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Krokorok. In this catalog that name is Krokorok (#552).

Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this card. The same name is on 471 other cards in the catalog.

Krookodile (#553) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Krookodile 62/98 in Emerging Powers (2011). Both list 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo.

The attack Torment lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon's attacks. That Pokémon can't use that attack during your opponent's next turn. Krookoroll is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. If the Defending Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 40 more damage. Weakness is Water ×2. Resistance is Lightning -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It can expand the focus of its eyes, enabling it to see objects in the far distance as if it were using binoculars."

I keep a set binder for Black & White, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Black & White set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Krookodile can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
