Dark Donphan is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 29. In the Pokédex this is Donphan (#232), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Phanpy. In this catalog that name is Phanpy (#231).
Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated this card. The same name is on 50 other cards in the catalog.
Donphan (#232) has 20 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Donphan 21/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card is named Donphan, while this one is Dark Donphan. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Donphan list a different HP.
The attack Tusk Toss lists no damage number. The cost is Fighting, Fighting. If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, flip a coin. If heads, return the Defending Pokémon and all cards attached to it to your opponent's hand. If tails, your opponent chooses 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon and switches it with the Defending Pokémon. Giant Tusk is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Resistance is Lightning -30. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "The larger its tusks, the higher its status in the herd."
I keep a set binder for Neo Destiny, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Destiny set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Donphan can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
