Samurott is Pokédex #503, generation 5 (Unova). Samurott is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 160 HP. The card says it evolves from Dewott. In this catalog that name is Dewott (#502).

Torrential Whirlpool is listed as Ability. Once during your turn, you may switch your Active Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. If you do, switch out your opponent's Active Pokémon to the Bench. (Your opponent chooses the new Active Pokémon.) The attack Energized Slash lists 30+ damage. The cost is Water. This attack does 50 more damage for each Energy attached to this Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "One swing of the sword incorporated in its armor can fell an opponent. A simple glare from one of them quiets everybody."

Samurott (#503) has 18 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Samurott BW22/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). That card lists 140 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. 5ban Graphics illustrated that card, and rika illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Samurott list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads rika. I count 12 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

White Flare set binder is where a full White Flare set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Samurott can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Unova starters. I still need this card.
