Lopunny is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 36. In the Pokédex this is Lopunny (#428), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Buneary. In this catalog that name is Buneary (#427).

Midori Harada illustrated this card. The same name is on 352 other cards in the catalog.

Lopunny (#428) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2025.

The attack Jump Kick lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Jazzed is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. If Lopunny evolved from Buneary during this turn, remove all damage counters from Lopunny. Weakness is Fighting +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It is very conscious of its looks and never fails to groom its ears. It runs with sprightly jumps."

I keep a set binder for POP Series 9, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the POP Series 9 set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lopunny can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are POP Series. I still need this card.
