The attack Incinerate lists no damage number. The cost is Fire. Show the top card of your opponent's deck to all players. If it's a Trainer card, discard it. Rushing Magma is another attack lists 20× damage. The cost is Fire, Fire. Discard the top 5 cards of your deck. (If there are fewer than 5 cards in your deck, discard all of them.) This attack does 20 damage for each Fire Energy card you discarded in this way. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

Quilava (#156) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 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 is named Quilava, while this one is Dark Quilava. Both list 60 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 12 other cards of Quilava list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Neo Destiny set binder is where a full Neo Destiny 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). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards, Team Rocket cards, and Johto starters. I still need this card.
