Bellossom is Pokédex #182, generation 2 (Johto). Bellossom is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 36. The card says it evolves from Gloom. In this catalog that name is Gloom (#044).

Bellossom sits at 3/111 in Neo Genesis, position 3 of 111. Before it is 2 Azumarill, and after it is 4 Feraligatr. The set belongs to the Neo series. It was released on December 16, 2000. The printed size is 111, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Sweet Nectar lists no damage number. The cost is Grass. Flip a coin. If heads, remove all damage counters from 1 of your Pokémon. Flower Dance is another attack lists 30× damage. The cost is Grass, Grass, Colorless. Does 30 damage times the number of cards with Bellossom in their names that you have in play (including this one). Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Plentiful in the tropics. When it dances, its petals rub together and make a pleasant ringing sound."

Bellossom (#182) has 11 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2023. The earliest other card is Bellossom 5/147 in Aquapolis (2003). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Bellossom list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Atsuko Nishida. I count 408 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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