Gloom is Pokédex #044, generation 1 (Kanto). Gloom is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. 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.

Gloom (#044) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Gloom 37/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 15 other cards of Gloom list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kyoko Umemoto. I count 174 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Aquapolis set binder is where a full Aquapolis set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gloom can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
