Pidgeotto is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Pidgeotto (#017), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Pidgey. In this catalog that name is Pidgey (#016). The card lists Pidgeot, Pidgeot (#018) under evolves to.
Suwama Chiaki illustrated this card. The same name is on 102 other cards in the catalog.
Pidgeotto (#017) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Pidgeotto 22/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Suwama Chiaki illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Pidgeotto list a different HP.
The attack Gust lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Twister is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. If both of them are tails, this attack does nothing. For each heads, discard an Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It renders its prey immobile using well-developed claws, then carries the prey more than 60 miles to its nest."
I keep a set binder for Call of Legends, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Call of Legends set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pidgeotto can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
