Delibird is a Basic Water Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 26. In the Pokédex this is Delibird (#225), generation 2 (Johto).

Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this card. The same name is on 471 other cards in the catalog.

Delibird (#225) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Delibird 5/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Delibird list a different HP.

The attack Present lists no damage number. Flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for any 1 card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. Ice Ball is another attack lists 20 damage. The cost is Water. Weakness is Metal +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It carries food rolled up in its tail. It has the habit of sharing food with people lost in mountains."

I keep a set binder for Great Encounters, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Great Encounters set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Delibird can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
