Qwilfish is a Basic Water Pokémon with 60 HP. In the Pokédex this is Qwilfish (#211), generation 2 (Johto).

Aya Kusube illustrated this card. The same name is on 127 other cards in the catalog.

Qwilfish (#211) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Qwilfish 49/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). Both list 60 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Rare. Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated that card, and Aya Kusube illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Qwilfish list a different HP.

Spiny is listed as Poké-Body. If Qwilfish is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if Qwilfish is Knocked Out), flip a coin until you get tails. For each heads, put 1 damage counter on the Attacking Pokémon. The attack Stun Poison lists 10 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed and Poisoned. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Team Rocket Returns, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Team Rocket Returns set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Qwilfish can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
