Ursaring is Pokédex #217, generation 2 (Johto). Ursaring is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 42. The card says it evolves from Teddiursa. In this catalog that name is Teddiursa (#216).

Ursaring sits at 15/75 in Neo Discovery, position 15 of 75. Before it is 14 Unown [A], and after it is 16 Wobbuffet. The set belongs to the Neo series. It was released on June 1, 2001. The printed size is 75, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Headpress lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. If tails, this attack does nothing (not even damage). Double Lariat is another attack lists 40× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -30. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Although it is a good climber, it prefers to snap trees with its forelegs and eat fallen berries."

Ursaring (#217) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2022. The earliest other card is Ursaring 34/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. 12 other cards of Ursaring list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoyo Kimura. I count 256 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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