Haxorus is a Stage 2 Colorless Pokémon with 140 HP. In the Pokédex this is Haxorus (#612), generation 5 (Unova). The card says it evolves from Fraxure. In this catalog that name is Fraxure (#611).

Haxorus (#612) 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 2025. The earliest other card is Haxorus BW57/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). Both list 140 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. kawayoo illustrated that card, and Akira Komayama illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Haxorus list a different HP.

Flip 2 coins. If both of them are heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. If both of them are tails, this attack does nothing. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Their sturdy tusks will stay sharp even if used to cut steel beams. These Pokémon are covered in hard armor."

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