Koffing (#109) has 28 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 25 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Koffing 51/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Lee HyunJung illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 17 other cards of Koffing list a different HP.

The attack Tackle lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. Smogscreen is another attack lists 10 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing. Weakness is Psychic +10. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Lighter-than-air gases in its body keep it aloft. The gases not only smell, they are also explosive."

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