The attack Whirlpool lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Flip a coin. If heads, discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon. Spring Back is another attack lists 20+ damage. The cost is Water, Water. If your opponent has only 1 Prize card left, this attack does 20 damage plus 50 more damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Asleep. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The card text says: You can't have more than 1 Pokémon Star in your deck.

Mudkip (#258) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2021. The earliest other card is Mudkip 59/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card is named Mudkip, while this one is Mudkip ★. That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Rare Holo Star. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 17 other cards of Mudkip list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Rocket Returns set binder is where a full Team Rocket Returns set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Mudkip can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
