Supreme Victors is a set in the Platinum series. It was released on August 19, 2009. The printed size is 147. This checklist is longer, at 153 cards. Claydol is 22/147, in position 22 of 153 on this checklist. Before it is 21 Chimecho, and after it is 23 Crawdaunt G. The listed rarity is Rare.

Claydol is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 51. In the Pokédex this is Claydol (#344), generation 3 (Hoenn). The card says it evolves from Baltoy. In this catalog that name is Baltoy (#343).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

Claydol (#344) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2026. The earliest other card is Team Magma's Claydol 8/95 in Team Magma vs Team Aqua (2004). That card is named Team Magma's Claydol, while this one is Claydol. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Zu-Ka illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 21 other cards of Claydol list a different HP.

The attack Antique Magic lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Put 3 damage counters on any Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's) in any way you like. Synchro Attack is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic, Psychic. If the Defending Pokémon has the same remaining HP as Claydol, this attack's base damage is 90 instead of 30. Weakness is Psychic +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "An ancient clay figurine that came to life as a Pokémon from exposure to a mysterious ray of light."

I keep a set binder for Supreme Victors, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Supreme Victors set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Claydol can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
