Gloom is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 22. In the Pokédex this is Gloom (#044), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Oddish. In this catalog that name is Oddish (#043). The card lists Vileplume, Vileplume (#045) and Bellossom, Bellossom (#182) under evolves to.

Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated this card. The same name is on 212 other cards in the catalog.

The earliest other card is Gloom 37/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Common.

The attack Sleep Powder lists 20 damage. The cost is Grass. The Defending Pokémon is now Asleep. Frustration is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Grass, Colorless. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon that doesn't have any damage counters on it. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fire +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "The honey it drools from its mouth smells so atrocious, it can curl noses more than a mile away."

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