Dodrio is Pokédex #085, generation 1 (Kanto). Blaine's Dodrio is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 26. The card says it evolves from Blaine's Doduo. In this catalog that name is Doduo (#084).

Blaine's Dodrio sits at 32/132 in Gym Challenge, position 32 of 132. Before it is 31 Blaine's Charmeleon, and after it is 33 Blaine's Rapidash. The set belongs to the Gym series.

Dodrio (#085) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Dodrio 34/64 in Jungle (1999). That card is named Dodrio, while this one is Blaine's Dodrio. Both list 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Dodrio list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Gym Challenge set binder is where a full Gym Challenge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Dodrio can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, and Blaine and his Pokémon. I still need this card.
