The flavor text reads "It has a poison sac at its throat. When it croaks, the stored poison is churned for more potency."

Toxicroak (#454) has 20 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2025. The earliest other card is Toxicroak G DP41/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Toxicroak G, while this one is Toxicroak. Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Ryota Saito illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 13 other cards of Toxicroak list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Arceus set binder is where a full Arceus set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Toxicroak can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
