Hitmonchan is a Basic Fighting Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Hitmonchan (#107), generation 1 (Kanto).

Hitmonchan (#107) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Hitmonchan 7/102 in Base (1999). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 14 other cards of Hitmonchan list a different HP.

The attack Detect lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Hitmonchan during your opponent's next turn. Sky Uppercut is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless. This attack's damage isn't affected by Resistance. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its punches slice the air. However, it seems to need a short break after fighting for three minutes."

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. Hitmonchan can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
