Ludicolo is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 100 HP. In the Pokédex this is Ludicolo (#272), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Lombre. In this catalog that name is Lombre (#271).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Ludicolo (#272) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ludicolo 7/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Tomokazu Komiya illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Ludicolo list a different HP.

Happy Dance is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may remove 1 damage counter from each of your Pokémon. You can't use more than 1 Happy Dance Poké-Power each turn. This power can't be used if Ludicolo is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Water Punch lists 40+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin for each Water Energy attached to Ludicolo. This attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage for each heads. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

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