Wobbuffet is Pokédex #202, generation 2 (Johto). Wobbuffet is a Basic Psychic Pokémon with 90 HP.

Wobbuffet sits at HGSS04/25 in HGSS Black Star Promos, position 4 of 25. Before it is HGSS03 Pikachu, and after it is HGSS05 Hoothoot. The set belongs to the HeartGold & SoulSilver series. It was released on February 10, 2010. The printed size is 25, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Promo.

Tenacious Bind is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Wobbuffet is your Active Pokémon, your opponent's Active Pokémon's Retreat Cost is ColorlessColorless more. The attack Trip Over lists 20+ damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 damage plus 30 more damage. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "To keep its pitch-black tail hidden, it lives quietly in the darkness. It is never first to attack."

Wobbuffet (#202) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2025. The earliest other card is Wobbuffet 16/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and match illustrated this one. 18 other cards of Wobbuffet list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads match. I count 143 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

HGSS Black Star Promos set binder is where a full HGSS Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Wobbuffet can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
