Mewtwo is Pokédex #150, generation 1 (Kanto). Mewtwo VSTAR is a VSTAR Psychic Pokémon with 280 HP. The card says it evolves from Mewtwo V. In this catalog that name is Mewtwo (#150).

Mewtwo VSTAR sits at 79/78 in Pokémon GO, position 79 of 88. Before it is 78 Professor's Research, and after it is 80 Melmetal VMAX. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on July 1, 2022. The printed size is 78. This checklist is longer, at 88 cards. The collector number is above the printed set size of 78. The listed rarity is Rare Rainbow.

The attack Psy Purge lists 90× damage. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. Discard up to 3 Psychic Energy from your Pokémon. This attack does 90 damage for each card you discarded in this way. Star Raid is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic, Colorless. This attack does 120 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon V. This damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. (You can't use more than 1 VSTAR Power in a game.) Weakness is Darkness ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: VSTAR rule: When your Pokémon VSTAR is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards. The regulation mark is F.

Mewtwo (#150) has 88 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 42 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Mewtwo 10/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Mewtwo, while this one is Mewtwo VSTAR. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 280 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Rainbow. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and PLANETA Mochizuki illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 79 other cards of Mewtwo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads PLANETA Mochizuki. I count 131 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Pokémon GO set binder is where a full Pokémon GO set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Mewtwo can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mew and Mewtwo. I still need this card.
