Absol ex is a Basic ex Darkness Pokémon with 100 HP. In the Pokédex this is Absol (#359), generation 3 (Hoenn).

Ryo Ueda illustrated this card. The same name is on 462 other cards in the catalog.

Absol (#359) has 29 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Absol 1/97 in Dragon (2003). That card is named Absol, while this one is Absol ex. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Naoyo Kimura illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Absol list a different HP.

Cursed Eyes is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn, when you put Absol ex from your hand onto your Bench, you may move 3 damage counters from 1 of your opponent's Pokémon to another of his or her Pokémon. The attack Psychic Pulse lists 30 damage. The cost is Darkness, Colorless. Does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -30. Retreat cost is 1. The card text says: When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

I keep a set binder for Power Keepers, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Power Keepers set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Absol can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
