Forretress is Pokédex #205, generation 2 (Johto). Forretress is a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 40. The card says it evolves from Pineco. In this catalog that name is Pineco (#204).
Forretress sits at 2/75 in Neo Discovery, position 2 of 75. Before it is 1 Espeon, and after it is 3 Hitmontop. 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.
Spikes is listed as Pokémon Power. During your opponent's turn, whenever 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon becomes his or her Active Pokémon, Forretress does 10 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance.) This power stops working if Forretress is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Rapid Spin lists 30 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, he or she chooses 1 of them and switches it with his or her Active Pokémon, then, if you have any Benched Pokémon, you switch 1 of them with your Active Pokémon. (Do the damage before switching the Pokémon.) Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Its entire body is shielded by a steel-hard shell. What lurks inside the armor is a total mystery."
Forretress (#205) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2025. The earliest other card is Forretress 21/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. 19 other cards of Forretress list a different HP.
The illustrator line reads CR CG gangs. I count 26 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. Forretress can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
