Quilava is Pokédex #156, generation 2 (Johto). Quilava is a Stage 1 Fire Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 35. The card says it evolves from Cyndaquil. In this catalog that name is Cyndaquil (#155). The card lists Typhlosion, Typhlosion (#157) under evolves to.

Quilava sits at 47/111 in Neo Genesis, position 47 of 111. Before it is 46 Quilava, and after it is 48 Seadra. 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 Smokescreen lists 20 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire. If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing. Char is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Fire. If the Defending Pokémon doesn't have a Char counter on it, flip a coin. If heads, put a Char counter on it. A Char counter requires your opponent to flip a coin after every turn. If tails, put 2 damage counters on the Pokémon with that Char counter. (Char counters stay on the Pokémon as long as it's in play.) Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Be careful if it turns its back during battle. It means that it will attack with the fire on its back."

Quilava (#156) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Quilava 46/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. 10 other cards of Quilava list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 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. Quilava can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
