Vanilluxe is 33/99, in position 33 of 103 on this checklist. Before it is 32 Vanillish, and after it is 34 Frillish. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Vanilluxe is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Vanilluxe (#584), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Vanillish. In this catalog that name is Vanillish (#583).

Akira Komayama illustrated this card. The same name is on 239 other cards in the catalog.

Vanilluxe (#584) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Vanilluxe 29/101 in Noble Victories (2011). Both list 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Akira Komayama illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Vanilluxe list a different HP.

Slippery Soles is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may switch your Active Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. If you do, your opponent switches his or her Active Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon. The attack Crushing Ice lists 60+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Does 10 more damage for each Colorless in the Defending Pokémon's Retreat Cost. Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Swallowing large amounts of water, they make snow clouds inside their bodies and attack their foes with violent blizzards."

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