Garchomp is a Stage 2 Dragon Pokémon with 140 HP. In the Pokédex this is Garchomp (#445), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Gabite. In this catalog that name is Gabite (#444).

Naoki Saito illustrated this card. The same name is on 270 other cards in the catalog.

Garchomp (#445) has 36 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Garchomp C LV.X DP46/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Garchomp C LV.X, while this one is Garchomp. That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Shizurow illustrated that card, and Naoki Saito illustrated this one. 32 other cards of Garchomp list a different HP.

The attack Jet Headbutt lists 40 damage. The cost is Colorless. Sand Tomb is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Water, Fighting, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn. Weakness is Dragon ×2. The flavor text reads "It is said that when one runs at high speed, its wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees."

I keep a set binder for Dragons Exalted, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Dragons Exalted set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Garchomp can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
