The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Common. 8 other cards of Minccino list a different HP.

The attack Last Resort lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless. Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "These Pokémon prefer a tidy habitat. They are always sweeping and dusting, using their tails as brooms."

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