Kirlia is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 70 HP. In the Pokédex this is Kirlia (#281), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Ralts. In this catalog that name is Ralts (#280). The card lists Gardevoir, Gardevoir (#282) and Gallade, Gallade (#475) under evolves to.
Hajime Kusajima illustrated this card. The same name is on 206 other cards in the catalog.
Kirlia (#281) has 31 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 25 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Kirlia 34/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. 23 other cards of Kirlia list a different HP.
The attack Psyshock lists 20 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Link Blast is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless, Colorless. If Kirlia and the Defending Pokémon have a different amount of Energy attached to them, this attack's base damage is 30 instead of 60. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1.
I keep a set binder for Sandstorm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Sandstorm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kirlia can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
