Ivysaur is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 24. In the Pokédex this is Ivysaur (#002), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Bulbasaur. In this catalog that name is Bulbasaur (#001). The card lists Venusaur, Venusaur (#003) under evolves to.

I keep a set binder for Secret Wonders, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Secret Wonders set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ivysaur can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
