Golem is a Stage 2 Fighting Pokémon with 170 HP. In the Pokédex this is Golem (#076), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Graveler. In this catalog that name is Graveler (#075).

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Golem (#076) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Golem 36/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 170 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 25 other cards of Golem list a different HP.

The attack Rock Slide lists 60 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 20 damage to 3 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Land Crush is another attack lists 140 damage. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "When Golem grow old, they stop shedding their shells. Those that have lived a long, long time have shells green with moss."

I keep a set binder for Hidden Fates, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Hidden Fates set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Golem can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
