Growlithe is Pokédex #058, generation 1 (Kanto). Growlithe is a Basic Fire Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists Arcanine, Arcanine (#059) under evolves to.

Growlithe sits at 1/12 in McDonald's Collection 2018, position 1 of 12. The next card is 2 Psyduck. The set belongs to the Other series. It was released on October 16, 2018. The printed size is 12, and the checklist is the same length.

The attack Take Down lists 60 damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless, Colorless. This Pokémon does 20 damage to itself. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It's both clever and loyal, but if a stranger tries to invade its territory, it barks threateningly."

Growlithe (#058) has 38 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 33 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Growlithe 28/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and MAHOU illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 25 other cards of Growlithe list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads MAHOU. I count 122 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

McDonald's Collection 2018 set binder is where a full McDonald's Collection 2018 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Growlithe can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
