Quagsire is Pokédex #195, generation 2 (Johto). Quagsire is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 33. The card says it evolves from Wooper. In this catalog that name is Wooper (#194).

Quagsire sits at 45/111 in Neo Genesis, position 45 of 111. Before it is 44 Piloswine, and after it is 46 Quilava. 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 Uncommon.

The attack Surf lists 30 damage. The cost is Water, Water. Earthquake is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Does 10 damage to each of your own Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Resistance is Lightning -30. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Due to its relaxed and carefree attitude, it often bumps its head on boulders and boat hulls as it swims."

Quagsire (#195) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2023. The earliest other card is Quagsire 48/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). Both list 70 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Uncommon. Yuka Morii illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Quagsire 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. Quagsire can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Atsuko Nishida cards, early series. I still need this card.
