Infernape is a Stage 2 Team Plasma Fire Pokémon with 130 HP. In the Pokédex this is Infernape (#392), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Monferno. In this catalog that name is Monferno (#391).

5ban Graphics illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,629 other cards in the catalog.

Infernape (#392) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2024. The earliest other card is Infernape 5/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Infernape list a different HP.

The attack Torment lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless. Choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon's attack. That Pokémon can't use that attack during your opponent's next turn. Malevolent Fire is another attack lists 120 damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless. Discard all Energy attached to this Pokémon. Weakness is Water ×2. The flavor text reads "It uses unique fighting moves with fire on its hand and feet. It will take on any opponent."

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