Golduck is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Golduck (#055), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Psyduck. In this catalog that name is Psyduck (#054).

Naoki Saito illustrated this card. The same name is on 270 other cards in the catalog.

Golduck (#055) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Golduck 35/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Naoki Saito illustrated this one. 19 other cards of Golduck list a different HP.

Natural Remedy is listed as Poké-Body. Whenever you attach a Water Energy card from your hand to Golduck, remove 2 damage counters from Golduck. The attack Powerful Splash lists 30+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless. Does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each Water Energy attached to all of your Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "When it swims at full speed using its long, webbed limbs, its forehead somehow begins to glow."

I keep a set binder for HS—Triumphant, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the HS—Triumphant set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Golduck can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
