Piloswine is Pokédex #221, generation 2 (Johto). Piloswine is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Swinub. In this catalog that name is Swinub (#220). The card lists Mamoswine, Mamoswine (#473) under evolves to.

Piloswine sits at 24/144 in Skyridge, position 24 of 182. Before it is 23 Omastar, and after it is 25 Politoed. The set belongs to the E-Card series. It was released on May 12, 2003. The printed size is 144. This checklist is longer, at 182 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Piloswine (#221) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Piloswine 44/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Yuka Morii illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Piloswine list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Yuka Morii. I count 204 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Skyridge set binder is where a full Skyridge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Piloswine can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Yuka Morii clay cards. I still need this card.
